"I have this sick feeling that not much is going to come of this..........that in the end, it will be whitewashed." Could be. But things have changed. The media has experienced a partial testicular regeneration, although most seem bewildered about it. Because that is the whole key, the media has to do their jobs.

So why don't they ban antibacterial soaps? I never understood why they allowed these in all homes in the first place. I never bought them because I strongly believe they eventually will increase the likelihood of bacterial resistance in society. In ten years, a study probably will show this to be true, so why does the FDA take these small risks with our society? "Levy said overuse of antibiotics is the main cause of bacteria developing resistance to them. ...He advocates restricting anti-bacterial products from consumer use" cnn.com On a different note: blue collars have better health care than white collar workers at GM per a different article (that actually spelt out the dollar amount difference), but this article conveys that retires find issue with the delta between the two groups. If companies used common sense, they wouldn't need to create any unions. washingtonpost.com
