Seems smart. Is the DA just going to shrug and say “We don’t prosecute people who practice medicine without a license”? I don’t think Big Medicine would like that.

Our laws and the bureaucracy surrounding them are so vast and complex, they actually create a state of political anarchy and a lawless society

MSN=Microsoft by the way.

Also, everything is against the law if someone doesn't like you.
