Cold Comfort

Coming from Connecticut, I have absolutely no understanding of the popularity of crystal meth, but when I overhear that Congress is planning on placing limits on cold medicines, I wonder why we even bother with state legislatures anymore. I have a feeling that the Reason crowd will be entirely against this terrible violation of privacy rights, what with having to sign your name to a cold medicine log. All I have to say about that aspect is that I'll use my own pen, thankyouverymuch.

I'm reminded of my high school physics teacher, a Georgian immigrant, who found NyQuil potent enough that he felt it should be sold in six-packs.
