College students protest pseudoephedrine ban

When you see stories like this, you know there's lots of hope for today's young adults - unlike in my generation, when many of my contemporaries were brainwashed into thinking Ronald Reagan was their grandpa.

Walgreen's has a policy at all its drugstores nationwide that prohibits customers from buying cold and allergy drugs that contain pseudoephedrine if they're from out of state. This policy is probably illegal, and it certainly is fascist.

So who's up for an Occupy Walgreen's protest? Students at Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma, are planning a demonstration against the embattled pharmacy chain. Even the college president has approached Walgreen's in an effort to make it change its ways, but Walgreen's hasn't budged yet. Now he's teamed up with the school's NAACP chapter in organizing the rally, which will take place outside a Walgreen's in Muskogee.

This issue is of particular interest to college students because many live out of state and don't have an in-state ID. It's also of interest to anybody else who cares about liberty or crimping corporate power.

I'd be at this protest if I could. It's long overdue.
