Americans are accepting more and more, unaccountable authority.
"Everything secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity." - Lord Acton. This is from the same guy that said, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts, absolutely.
Follow the money. Is there money to be made in curing many of our diseases? Bypass surgery does not extend life in a majority of cases, but it sure makes a lot of money for those providing the services. Read a book - "Overdo$ed America" by John Abramson. Read the work by doctors such as Dean Ornish, Caldwell Esselstyn, Hans Diehl, or John McDougall. When the real cause of many diseases (lifestyle - diet) is presented, most people will scoff at the ideas put forward, because people say 1) it can't really be that simple, 2) I want to eat what I want to eat, 3) food does not cause disease, 4) my doctor did not tell me that, so it can't be true, 5) many more excuses. Speaking as a recovering food junky and medical professional, there is a world of truth that is buried very deep by corporate America. If the truth were known, that people can be healthy by choice for a vast majority of diseases, people will be very upset. We will all eventually die, tis true, but so much better to get sick, and be dead at the end of a week, than to linger for years with many of the chronic diseases we inflict on ourselves....

Government needs to be accountable.
