Fuck the system

As many here may remember, my nephew got put into a halfway house after his grandmother lied to his probation officer. Well, things just got worse.

Our wonderfully enlightened state government has passed a law saying that cold remedies containing pseudephadrine, a key ingredient for methamphetamine, have to be dispensed by a pharmacist, and the buyer has to sign a statement stating that they won't use the cold remedy in question to make meth. Essentially, and cold remedy containing peudephadrine is a controlled substance.

Well, last month, my nephew had a cold, so he took some Sudafed. When his routine drug test showed signs of pseudephadrine, the nitwits immediately started to process him on charges of using meth.

I just found out about this today. Needless to say, I'm rather pissed, and that some heads will most definitely roll.

The point here, however, is that our liberal government is more interested in keeping crime statistics up - even if they have to create the criminals in order to do so.

I believe Ayn Rand said it best:

There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. When there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
