On September 27, 2007, President of the United States George W. Bush signed the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) into law. This new law is an important step for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It reviewed, expanded, and reaffirmed several existing pieces of legislation regulating the FDA. These changes will allow the FDA access to much-needed resources that will enable the agency to better protect American consumers by allowing more comprehensive reviews of potential new drugs and devices.

“God gave the righteous man a certificate entitling him to food and raiment, but the unrighteous man found a facsimile of the same in God’s coffers, and appropriated it, and obtained food and raiment like the former. It is one of the most extensive systems of counterfeiting that the world has seen.”

“Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demonized. The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is an anathema to these idiots. I predict that in the near future, right wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus.”
—Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Father Tom Murphy (William S. Burroughs)
“Both of us felt more anxiety about the South—about the colored people especially—than about anything else sinister in the result. My hope of a sound currency will somehow be realized; civil service reform will be delayed; but the great injury is in the South. There the Amendments will be nullified, disorder will continue, prosperity to both whites and colored people will be pushed off for years.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The act of putting into your mouth what the earth has grown is perhaps your most direct interaction with the earth.”
