Jeffrey Solomon, thanks for your great post.
It does my heart good to see folks like you [who normally do not post at RCU], compelled to show just how angry and betrayed you feel about this.
Many years ago, those who shared your views were all labeled "Tin Foil Hats" by those [at this forum] who thought that there was NOTHING in the future that could possibly go wrong.
They are also the same ones who believe it is the AMA's DUTY to embrace every new technological development that comes rolling along without question.
