Come November, we have to vote for a new governor here in corn country. As you can imagine every other commercial on TV is a political advertisement. Which for the very few hours a week I watch TV it is tolerable.
Tonight while watching Grey's Anatomy, I heard a statistic that I find almost laughable. They state that 80% of meth in this fine state comes from Mexico and that little stat is their justification for immigration laws. Not the fact that it is illegal to come waltzing into any country without checking in and in some cases having your picture taken, and fingerprint filed. Yes, I know this from experience. However, I'd rather deal with the little drug stat.
Let's blame the meth problem on the Mexicans, not on the fact that we have a lot of bored people in this state with nothing better to do with their time than to play with a little chemistry set. Until a law was passed about a year and a half ago that requires me to sign away my first child several times in order to get cold and allergy medicine, there was at least one news story a week about some moron who blew up his/her house with the meth lab in the basement.
If 80% of meth in this state is brought in from Mexico, it is only because their is legislation now to protect people from their own stupidity. Unfortunately, I firmly believe those morons are also smart enough, and determined enough to find a way around the law which makes my life more difficult at a time when I would like things to be easier since I am the first to admit, I'm a bitchy sick person.
