PHOTOS HELP METH MAKERS

As in many cases, the media controls our lives each and every day. In the
past few months, there have been many meth labs busted in the area!

This is very concerning to many citizens! Why are there not more checks for
certain chemicals before purchase?

Secondly, why is the media showing pictures of chemicals found on site
after the bust of these labs? Does this not help that person who couldn't
figure out the last chemical to add to his potion? Does this give that 14-
or 15-year-old child who is bored out of his or her mind something to think
about and maybe pass their time along more quickly? It's a fast
money-maker, and some just want the high! Why don't we just plaster the
papers with the recipe for those who need to know?

Thank you to the media for providing the need-to-know information. We can
always rely on you for help!
