Having spent many years in a financial services company, I understand the culture of a highly regulated industry.  We in the US regulate many industries — it is a reflection of our values.  We regulate air travel because we want to fly safely.  We regulate pharmaceuticals because we want our medicines to be safe.  Safety is a high [...]
