Excellent list by Wolfstar and Southack.

Thanks for th eping, PhiKapMom. Now, if they could just reverse the ephedra ban and remove the AUC from the State Department list of terrorist organizations, I can give the Administration a solid A as opposed to an A-/B+.

FYI, the ephedra *ban* ONLY applies to *diet* preparations. Doctors of TCM can still prescribe Ma Huang and the herb itself is still legally available. The FDA can only act to ban substances that have harmed people substantially, AFAIK.

I do not know enough about the Columbian *Auto Self Defense* groups to comment. However, this does not seem to me to be a make-it/break it issue for the US electorate in the 2004 election.
