City cites 73 people over cold medicine

How out of control are the Nazis' new drug laws?

In just one city - Evansville, Indiana - police in the past month have sent a summons to 73 people just for buying over-the-counter cold or allergy medicine that until only a few years ago had no purchase limits.

Authorities complain that folks buy too much of the medicine by stocking up at different stores. The legal limit? Three grams. That's all. If you have summer allergies, you can burn through that much in days.

Police catch folks by checking the log books that pharmacies are forced to keep. And now cops say they plan to issue another 60 summonses or so this week.

So now Evansville will have about 130 people who are facing charges over cold and allergy medicine. Almost everybody in the city knows someone who faces charges in this massacre. There's no evidence any of the 130 intended to use the drug improperly, and there's no way in hell that all 130 are guilty of anything other than exceeding the draconian purchase limit.

When I was growing up, there was a popular TV program titled 'That's Incredible!' When you see stories like this, I almost wish they'd come out with a show called 'That's Fascist!'
