OK, I guess what I'm really reacting to is the sentiment that the government can't or shouldn't do anything with regard to regulations. Are they perfect? No. Are there sometimes politics involved? Yes. My personal pet peeve is the goverment's crazy, obsessive war on marijuna use when there's little or no evidence that it's even a problem. And you want to talk about Quest and similar labs? It's nuts the amount of money they make from unnecessary drug testing that often yields faulty results and negatively affects real people's lives.

But even for all of that, I'd still rather live in a country where there are at least some (admittedly imperfect) rules that protect people. If the system isn't good enough, then I think the answer is to hold their feet to the fire to make it better, not absolve them of responsibility. </soapbox>
