GIVE ME A BREAK

To the Editor:

Give me a break! I'm a 42-year-old mother of five children and we take
our share of Claratin-D and Sudafed. I can only buy two boxes at a
time cause I might just go set up a meth lab? That third box might
just be too much of a temptation.

Punish the lawbreakers, not the folks that need a little decongestant.
What will "they" outlaw next? Batteries? They use those to make meth
too, ya know? And the thought of holding the store accountable for
selling irresponsible? What if Wal-Mart sells steak knives to a steak
knife killer? String 'em up!

If one desires to murder or cook up some meth one will find a way,
even if all the guns and Sudafed are outlawed. Yeah, there's a big
meth problem, but this crazy solution is barking up the wrong lab, I
mean tree.
