Gee, I feel so much safer now

Conservatives are always for the free market - unless of course it interferes with their precious War on Drugs, which hasn't accomplished anything positive.

This week, a Los Angeles man was sent to federal prison for 6 months for selling a device that let people cheat at drug tests.

What's the crime??? As long as the product worked as advertised, there is none.

Yet, by selling the device, he was accused of "conspiracy to defraud the United States", because some drug tests are mandated by the federal government (under an order of the Reagan regime).

Talk about a trumped-up charge! Who's running the Justice Department? Boss Hogg? (This case, incidentally, was launched under Bush.)

Gee, I feel so much safer with this dangerous, dangerous man off the streets! (That's sarcasm!) Meanwhile, Dick Cheney walks free.

What's really amazing is that the government violated workers' constitutional rights by treating them as guilty until proven innocent by making them take a drug test - and then it had the nerve to go after somebody for selling a product that helped people beat a test that was unconstitutional anyway.
