Cold medicine prescription bill defeated!

This may be the first major inroad in blunting the government's war against innocent Americans who dare to find boogers in their noses.

In Missouri, right-wing State Sen. Jason Crowell (R-Cape Girardeau) had introduced a provision that would have made certain over-the-counter allergy and cold medicines available by prescription only. The rationale for this was that someone might misuse these drugs to make meth.

If it had passed, the bill would have punished only the innocent. And it would have clogged doctor's offices and spread germs by forcing patients to visit the doctor just to get a drug that a family member should be able to get for them over-the-counter. (Not like any cold medicine you get at a drugstore works worth shit anyway.)

I've said before that Missouri doesn't get to decide what drugs are by prescription. Federal law already says these drugs are over-the-counter. Period.

But the Missouri Senate has now defeated this bill 18 to 6.

A lot of Missourians won't be inconvenienced now - much to the drug warriors' chagrin.
