continued: About the FDA: There's a great video on youtube. Search "End the FDA" and look to the fifth video down titled "End the FDA". It is about this very subject.

@Darthmaio It's wonderful we agree!
Freely helping people who are suffering is very different than using force to make others help the people you (or I) think are suffering.
About racism: I would never buy a product from a person I think is racist, and I suspect you wouldn't either. Very few people would. Moral people don't work for racists either. This is exactly how morality is dictated by capitalism: racists go out of business... and hopefully starve.

@ynotfsu I agree on all counts. However, sometimes it is morally unacceptable to stand idly by and watch people needlessly suffer. Why should african americans have to put up with racist employers? Our constitution calls for equal protection under the law. Why shouldn't an Institution like the FDA protect consumers from con-artists, and needlessly dangerous medical treatments? The constitution says it's the role of gov. to "promote the general welfare".

@Darthmaio I am not an anarchist. A person who uses force or coercion to infringe on another's life, liberty, or property should be held accountable to the government. This covers murderers, rapists, kidnappers, thieves, frauds, and any other real crime you can think of. When government becomes an instrument of plunder, the decider of how you can make a living, what you can do to your own body, who you can marry, etc. then they have become the very thing they were designed to prevent.

@ynotfsu
Do you seriously believe government should have no role in determining how its citizens should live? Because if there is an area that you think government should interfere in I would love to know what it is and on what grounds you deem it justified.

@Darthmaio You were the one who first mentioned rising costs. Not me. The big difference between your argument and mine is that you want to use the force of government to rob people on your behalf. At the very basis of your philosophy, at its most fundamental level, you think that it is not just ok, but morally correct to have the government force people to do what you want them to do. There is nothing "liberal" about your point of view. It is far better described as "authoritarian".

@Darthmaio You say "profits are a good thing... if ur the one making them."
Was Thomas Edison being a greedy capitalist by making profits from his invention of the light bulb? Was he just screwing over all the people who lived in darkness?
Was Jonas Salk being a greedy capitalist when he made profits from his discovery of the polio vaccine? Was he just screwing over all the people who would have dies of polio? What about Alexander Fleming? Henry Ford? Elias Howe? Percy Spencer? Robert Jarvik?
