METH - A MONSTROUS SOCIAL PROBLEM

So, prosecutors are using the Patriot Act to add teeth to the prosecution
of pipe bombers and meth cooks. And this is a bad thing?

People who make pipe bombs and manufacture methamphetamines are a threat to
the safety and sanity of the country as a whole. I can't bring myself to
feel sorry for them. Methamphetamine use is the least talked about problem
in this valley.

It is lurking behind much of the violence being reported in the media, yet
nobody wants to acknowledge it. It's the elephant in the room; let's admit
the magnitude of the problem and give law enforcement the tools to get
these people off the streets and make it riskier for those who would
engage in it.

People who want to give up on the war on drugs have never had a kid strung
out on this stuff, and people who manufacture and sell it should go to
prison for a very long time. Unfortunately, they are turned loose to
frequently and much too soon.
