Today, I renewed my DEA (National) and NED (State) license, which basically I can prescribe any or all drugs, except Class I (research drugs) and medical marijuana (against ethics as a dentist…I can not promote any smoking..lol.)

Hawaii has the one of strictest drug regulation laws in the nation, which requires the state license as well; on top of having 10 fingers (printed) registration and extensive scrutiny on and before the licensure of national DEA (over 23 years ago).

Somehow, I thought of Media (journalists) as professionals ; they could have acted better, had they had more strict laws and/or licensure requirements (if any) on the regular basis.
They might have enjoyed abuse of their power in the name of freedom.

The more I think, having a rating system (on news organization, journalists, and individual articles, separately), like health dept rating on restaurants, is not a bad idea…(of course, their free press right should be guaranteed).

Aloha.

Media Reform…!
