I am strongly opposed to the FDA loosening restrictions on commercial
speech by giving it the cover that our founders extented to citizens to
protect us from not only misuses of the government, but that of
commercial interests.   

As a stock broker/financial advisor, I spend many hours listening to my
clients tell me how distrustful they are of our corporations and the lack
of protection they feel from their government.   

Those who are pushing to gain the cover of free speech are the very ones
who are killing off our young, and not so young, with their additive
products.   We cannot afford to have an addicted, non-productive
citizenry because corporations want to make obscene profits;  I include
the legal drug industry in this category.
