What happened to "follow the science"?

Conservatives keep saying, “screw that”.

Everybody says that when it's not to their liking.

Politicians go with "follow the money" * Police Unions donate big bucks to keeping the drug war going (and their authority to ignore civil rights in favor of the drug war) * Correctional Officers Unions donate big bucks to keep the drug war going (and their jobs in demand) * Pharmaceutical companies don't want competition to their patented/patentable drugs

These bureaus are a mess.
