While that may be true, the study referenced above (and repeated many times) fails to support that claim, and actually:

"... in Linsly-Chittenden Hall, and then later in a lab in Bridgeport, and then still later in replications all around the world, that 62 to 65 per cent of us, when faced with a credible authority, will follow orders to the point of lethally harming a person ..."

That is one of the reasons old-line liberals such as I are as enamored with free speach as we are. It may not be perfect, but it is far, far better than the alternatives.

"Shut the fuck up and get back to what I have told you to do ..." is all too easily a ticket to a disaster.

Let the pharmacists have their day in court. I bet that the Commerce Clause will withstand their challenge.
