In Oregon, I am no longer free to buy cold medicines containing
pseudoephedrine without a prescription

SERIOUSLY! GOOD EXAMPLE!

The indians called the Willamette Valley the "Valley of sickness" because of
the pollen, which because of the grass seed farms is among the worst and
most concentrated in the world. Along comes a medication with almost no
side-effects, no drowsiness...something you could actually take and then fly
a plane.

Now you need a prescription to take a perfectly useful
medication....remember when they pulled Primatene too? That means only
folks with enough money to get to a physician and then get a prescription
can afford it. Isn't a problem for me (I work right across the river, where
it's legal over the counter.)

Why? 'Cause it's used in meth. So friggin' WHAT?! Meth manufactures
have been known to use crap like linoleum. You should need a prescription
to install a kitchen floor! The druggies are just going to order the crap
over the internet from Singapore or Canada anyway.
