"Informed consumers could always buy their products that were inspected by a private rating company. Trust the market place."

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers and health professionals on Friday to check for three counterfeit lots of the cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor that are being recalled by a Kansas City-based distributor..."

This from another thread today on Free Republic. Still trust the market place?

Yes. I still trust the marketplace.

The FDA didn't stop the fake Lipitor, did it?

Did the FDA even find it? Or was it detected by the drug maker that saw an inexplicable drop in sales?

Once again, all the government did was show up to fill out forms.

Let me understand what you are asking. Under the watchful eye of government workers, some drugs that were probably imported from India ( according to a post in the thread) - because they are cheaper, and this is a failure of the market place and not the government workers?

Is this what you are asking?

Consider the fire in the night club that claimed approximately 100 people. The local Fire department and government assumed responsibility for fire safety with their ordinances and inspections. After the fire they took no blame, they just called for more government responsibility. Feel any safer?

A mountain road without guardrails is safer than the same road with imaginary guardrails. Trusting the government to protect your every move is as stupid as depending on imaginary guard rails.

As stupid as trusting a Judge, who sends revenue agents out to terrorize whole apartment buildings, to respect the Constitution? I think so.
