Hey...there is actually a study that was signed off on by several professors, economists, scientsts etc... I will see if I can find it again and post a link. This study actually went into the economics, not just from the production but also the cost savings in the legal system. There were at least 25-30 high profile contributors from Harvard, yale etc... I will try to find this for you. I know you would find the reading interesting.
