I'm just as leery of Big Pharma (and the entire stock market approach to capitalism) as I am of little witch-doctors popping up everywhere looking for a quick buck. At least you can (or at least try to) sue big pharma if something goes wrong, and hope for a settlement to keep it quiet if there is evidence (or credible appearance) of wrongdoing or negligence... try doing that with the local snake-oil salesman!
One day, by promoting independent thought and awareness, the internet is going to re-democratize our institutions and restore the sustainability of our economy. That is, unless/until Big Telecoms succeed in overturning Net Neutrality.
