You don't read too well, do you boy? The clerks were recent Indian immigrants and didn't know American drug lingo, so they couldn't have "knowingly violated the law."
...except perhaps in the minds of big-gov't ass-kissing JBTs.

Why should law-abiding citizens be inconvenienced because of the activities of a bunch of criminals?
Look, I'm a major supporter of law enforcement (I come from 3 generations of NYPD) but I'm sick and bloody tired of laws being passed that don't do a damned thing about real criminals and just make life for every day law abiding folks more difficult.

I drank a bottle of Nyquil. How a bout you? Ha! I missed the day. But, I am planning for next year. I can't wait to read next year's proclamation.

Vicks is a pretty good decongestant. Grape seed extract and apples have chemicals that block histamines. Then there is always good old hot chicken soup.

I'd be happy to do my bit, queuing for a two dollar box of pseudoephedrine and giving my ID and signature, if I thought the freaking Feds were holding up their end at the bloody border.

"Like I said, these laws are assinine."They're working. Local meth labs are a fraction of the number they were before.

"Press "1" if you speak American drug lingo."

To: robertpaulsen
Maybe, maybe not.
I'm sick and bloody tired of 'feel good' laws that do more harm to law abiding citizens than anything.

They're working. Local meth labs are a fraction of the number they were before. You say that the number of local meth labs has declined. Does that mean that the supply of meth has also declined? Or have foreign labs made up the difference, as some claim?

Last month, President Bush declared Nov. 30 "National Methamphetamine Awareness Day."(sigh)

I agree with you This is just more government idiocy. I'm sitting here with a cold right now wondering where I can get some cold medicine that works. Just prosecute the ones who are caught running the meth labs and make on-demand random drug tests a requirement for any public assistance, cutting benefits for those caught using, and the problem would be solved.

I will go to Home Depot tomorrow and buy razor blades and spray paint. I will give the results of my shopping trip on this thread. Yes, I will take bond money with me. LOL
