... Boyce, also in the science club, got a group of members together and they sued. Each received approximately $60,000 in compensation from MIT, Quaker Oats and the government. 60k? They should have gotten 600k and all future medical expenses paid. What are we turning a blind eye to now?
What are we turning a blind eye to now? -Good question, we likely won't know for some time.

In fact, I think that the extent to which we've allowed society to be shaped by corporate competition and profit motive will at some future time seem absurd. We are still living in the shadow of a Capitalist/Communist debate that almost guarantees ignorance to actuality. i.e. Capitalism is good because we know Communism is bad. So we sacrifice again and again at the altar of not-Communism. Those kids jacked up on neuro-modulators are part of the sacrifice. They are the recipients of unnecessary action due to motivations that have extended too far. Their plight is the satiation of share-holders, and we know that's Capitalist and thus, not bad.
