What Perdue Pharma did was nothing less than
a massive biochemical attack on the citizens of a country whose
regulators ABDICATED on their duty in the spirit of laissez-faire.
No rules. Who wants rules? No one can tell me what to do!
The regulators were ridiculed, stymied, then defunded.
Of course personal responsibility plays a role. But was like
dropping HUNDREDS of loaded handguns on a kindergarten
playground whilst making ONE announcement of the loudspeaker
advising the kids NOT to play with them.......good luck with that!
