Yeah, I have to say that irony had not escaped me.

They use water, too. Do you realize that the government pumps that stuff right into your house?

I hear they use heat and water to make “drugs.” We should ban heat and water. Or at least put them behind the counter. If someone buys too much heat and water, we can kick in their door and shoot their dog. Freedom is awesome.

More evidence that the war on drugs knows no bounds. It long ago became unhinged from protecting people and is now busy grasping for any excuse to expand power and prohibit things.

I suppose that water will eventually have to be sold only by permit because it also is used in the production of meth.

“Rep. El-Amin is a 1988 graduate of Pattonville Senior High School in Maryland Heights, Missouri. He will graduate in December 2007 from Harris-Stowe State University with a degree in Urban Education.

“Rep. El-Amin was born on December 17, 1970 in St. Louis, Mo, where he currently resides with his wife, Yaphett El-Amin. They have five children: Brooklynn, Mark, Myles, Hasan and Ruqaiyah.”

Just curious, but was El-Amin his birth name? Or is he a Muslim convert? The first three kids’ names make me suspicious that this is a Johnny-Come-Lately to Mohammed.

"This is as stupid as locking up the sudafed because it can be used in meth."

True, and yet many of the WODers right here on FR fully supported that bit if absurdity. I wonder if they'll support this as well.

Waiter ...check please ...this is NOT the country I want to leave to my grandchildren.

Not to worry, it'll all be over by the time they reach college.

Never mind. I see his original name was Mark Bastain and that at least the first two kids had a different mother (with El-Amin accused of being a deadbeat dad). Mrs. El-Amin was raised Black Muslim and the two are trying to establish a family political dynasty. Guess I was just being lazy not doing my own research.

I’m sorry, I can’t believe this!!! Baking soda is a great product for everything from baking cookies, to brushing teeth, to freshening drains and refrigerators. This is nutz. We go through at least two boxes of the stuff per month — would be more if I were a stay at home mom. WHAT a lunatic.

They’ve already put the most cost effective antihistamine behind the counter. The inmates are running the asylum, indeed.

When baking soda is outlawed, only outlaws will have baking soda.

Straws should be a behind the counter item also, I presume.

Mark Bastian

See http://www.riverfronttimes.com/2001-12-19/news/all-work-and-no-pray/full

(excerpt)

To followers of Islam, praying five times a day is not just an obligation called for in the Quran; it is a way of weaving the spiritual into daily life. It was a message El-Amin grasped in 1990, seven years before he converted to Islam. At the time, he was still Mark Bastian, a freewheeling sailor whose Southern Baptist roots had been watered at Mount Carmel Baptist Church in St. Louis. For a whole month, the 22-year-old man had been out to sea in his U.S. Navy vessel. Finally docked at port in Alexandria, Egypt, he planned to let loose some energy in the streets and bars. But when he stepped off the ship at noon, the city was eerily quiet. “Everything was shut down,” El-Amin recalls. “I found out it was for jummah [Friday prayers]. I didn’t completely understand, but I knew then that it was something very big. I know it even more now.”

Interesting. I see he likes fighting. This would be like me requesting to work from Wednesday through Sunday for my regular workweek but then demanding the right to have Sundays off to honor the Sabbath. I see he no longer works at Ford.

Unfortunately, nobody works at that Ford plant anymore. It was shut down.

I had to get some controled substance pain killers (vicodin) at my local pharmacy, where they know me. I had my Rx, handed it to the pharmacist, and a few minutes later, I had my Rx. As I turned to leave, I realized that I needed to pick up some Cold Formula Advils for some sinus headaches I get this time of year. I had to present my photo ID to the very same pharmacist to get my advils...

Mark

“Why do you add sodium bicarbonate to your pool?”

It raises the ph of the water. We use muriatic acid to lower it. It all depends on how hard your tap water is
