(no subject)

Well that was stupid. I am still sick - sicker than I was, despite the tons of napping and rest. Not sure what else I could do. I stopped by the drugstore to get some more decongestant...and it wasn't on the shelf. There was a sign directing you to the pharmacy counter, where I learned that pseuphedrine is now a controlled substance. You can get it, in limited quantities, and they check your DL and ask you to sign the federal control blah blah list to get a fucking decongestant.

Thank you america, for making me loathe your stupidity more. Not every problem needs another stupid law. I'm sure people supported this regulation when it was called the "Accountability for controlled substances through interstate commerce" act, but might have wondered about the "drug-free USians give your SS# to get cold remedies from the drugstore" act. Punish all of us for what people choose to do. So in massive quantities decongestant can be turned into meth. Why is that my problem getting 30 mg tabs in the store?

This is also one isle over from the new loud razor blade dispensers, as they are stolen so much they now have to either put them behind the counter or use loud individual dispensers.

This is the same mentality that has a stoplight put up every time a stupid kid dashes out in front of a car. Every death has to have "meaning." Idiots. Every stupid law has a sad story, but no one ever gets rid of the stupid laws. I'm sure there is a law in this state against fucking your grandmother. Some freak did it, they made a law against it, and it remains on the book despite the fact that it's not necessary. We still have these insane drunk driving laws, that everyone supports, because they don't realize that they essentially mean that everyone that has a beer with dinner is "legally drunk." Rant, I say.

America. Land of the Brave.
Making laws against their shadows.

I have my exam tonight - my comprehension of the subject is far higher, and I'm now used to using the code book - but I'm sick. Oh this mightily blows. And I hate america.
