Get a Cold—Show an ID and Sign the Book— or Suffer

Dan Gillmor went and got my dander up. I'm not angry at Dan himself, but at political personalities such as Diane Feinstein of California and Jim Talent of Missouri, who are pushing to make it more inconvenient for you and I to purchase cold remedies because they actually believe making our lives more burdened will curb the tide of illegal meth manufacturers. I see that Tim Hammonds, of the Food Marketing Institute, was also mentioned in the article from the San Francisco Chronicle. I've already begun voicing my opinion to some of these folks and I'll be keeping a list of those who favor this legislation. I hope you'll let them know how you feel, even if you disagree with my views.

Quote Of The Moment
It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.
