Ken: And why doesn't the government take it upon itself to study something 
like CS since it can't be patented, and, therefore, would be "uninteresting" 
to the pharms? There are now taxpayer funds to do this type of research. The 
fact that it's NOT being done speaks volumes about the influence of big pharm 
on government policy in general, and enforcement policy (read, FDA/FTC) in 
particular. Roger
