Breaking News:Dangerous Delays: What Washington State (Re)Teaches Us About Cash and Cannabis Store Robberies [REPORT]

At least 21 states include drug offenses in their definitions of child abuse

Michigan is the latest, with Gov. Granholm signing a bill on Thursday that will make some meth offenses per se evidence of child abuse. I have a problem with these laws. I think child abuse is already well defined and people who fit the criteria should be punished for it. But saying that using or even cooking speed equals child abuse is just absurd on the face of it. I'll be talking to people through the week as I write a story on this to see if I'm wrong.

Just goes to show.

That the desperation the government is in, resorting to arbitrary laws, shoot in the dark policy's, has reached such a pathetic state of demise, they are just grabbing at anything to keep the fight going. This is a sad time in Amerikan justice, when the courts disregard whatever they have to just to put someone in jail. It reminds me of a punk, the one that fights dirty, cause that's the only way he stands a chance, but even that fails and he still gets an asswhoopin'.
If all else fails, cheat.
The whole system is wack.
I think my upbringing was the cause of all my problems in life. My parents had this crazy idea that, "if your wrong, just admit it, and do your best to correct it". And, "lying is bad", and "the police are your friend", and other stupid junk like that.
But, I know better, I just follow the fine example set forth by our government, the only way to be Amerikan is to lie, cheat, deny, ignore, disregard, and basically just do whatever you want, so what if people get hurt, or killed, as long as I do what I want, and gotta keep that, "I'm right, no matter what you say", attitude.

Drugs are not the problem, the war on drugs, is the problem.
