Black and white, or gray?

Is the world black and white, or is it gray? Well, of course it's all of the above. There are absolutes, and there are areas of uncertainty. Economics is almost all gray, that's why we need to abolish, or at least radically defang, institutions like the FDA. The FDA pretends that safety and effectiveness are absolutes, that either a drug is or isn't this things, when in fact they fall along spectrums. I need information to make decisions regarding which drugs are right for me, but no one can make the decision that's best for me, except for me.
