Or used a liquid fuel lamp in your home? Or had a backed up drain? Your comments are akin to asking for the ban of simple ingredients which COULD be used for illegal purposes, much like many, many things in any Wal*Mart. Profiling and banning things dope cooks use is pointless. Prohibition has never worked, and tweakers will find a route around in 2 days later.

They're certainly not armored in any significant way, and you'd be an idiot if you actually got caught based on this. Back in the day we used to take action, not whine about reaction.

And then it mysteriously disappeared. Big surprise from "in bed with CR" KCRG.

But I suppose that's because I didn't get squirrely and remove it from the holster, like any law abiding citizen.

How about instead of giving him unconstitutional punishments, you leave the pervert alone to jerk off to whatever he wants to, as long as he isn't harming anyone or they don't consent?

That's a pretty odd number for a poll. Was it 1,000, and only 400 agreed? Why is Corbett giving the results, instead of the firm? Maybe because he personally paid for it, and they skewed the results? Why is the company name not provided? Come on KCRG, do some investigative journalism, instead of getting in bed with the city. This is why KGAN is where to go for any real stories, instead of propaganda.

This is a Constitutional violation of the right to free travel. You need NO reason to be on these sidewalks or streets, and this law should be challenged in the supreme court.

They wear haz-mat suits, because there COULD be toxicity. There could be toxicity if you over-indulge in water, too. It can kill you. Fact is, petroleum solvents, lithium, and ammonia are all easily handled with a week's worth of reading. They wear the suits so you keep throwing out that money for anti-drug legislation. It's a scare tactic meant to drum up support. You got fooled.

It's no more flammable than gasoline, if you don't smoke your cigarettes while making your whatever. Just some more government sanctioned scare propaganda.

You can't be physically addicted to anything in a single use. It takes 2 weeks of constant usage, more than anyone buys in a single setting. People will be addicted to whatever they want, if they CHOOSE to be.

I wonder how horribly THAT vote will fail? Asking for a location option tax to pay 50% for road repair? Something already in the budget, allegedly? What kind of a crock...?

You've seen meth ABUSE. MANY, many people are on amphetamines legally and look perfectly normal. Methamphetamine IS legal for use under the trade name Desoxyn. Air Force pilots take it. Anyone who doesn't take care of their body or selves, will look like that. I've seen them in every range of drug abuse. Fight drug abuse, not drugs.

Same type of methods used for manfuacturing the same prescription and non-prescription drugs people take. And thumbed down for giving non-propaganda chemistry information?

It is now my job and life as an educator. There is no smoking at Metro, nor was it a joke and smoke club. Do you know WHY there "were" half days there? To enable students to get a job, which many had. I went to mine right before school. How much more is real life, than having a job while still in high school?
