Thank you for your response. I agree, the constitution has been under assault for awhile now, and it isn’t going to stop any time soon. Each party points out only the parts of the Constitution that furthers their agenda.

“The difference between the market and the bureaucracy is that the market is adaptive and ingenuous. They will find a way around it.”

They have…they quit producing drugs with pseudoephedrine (which works well, but which they can’t sell because of the restrictions) and focused on selling drugs with phenylephrine (which doesn’t work, but which can be stocked on shelves because the government has “approved” it). The free market solution is to provide us with a government-approved placebo (that hasn’t been legislated against mainly because it’s domestically produced and can’t be made into meth) that won’t get them prosecuted by the government even though it doesn’t work. The end result is that the consumer gets to suffer through his cold until either the government gets rid of the stupid 2005 law or a domestic drug company produces a substitute for pseudoephedrine that can’t be made into meth and can compete against an established product given special protections by the government.

With that said, where does the federal government assume the authority to supersede the right of the states to have their own identifications?

From Congress, the shitbird in the White House, and his lapdog Chertoff at DHS. They don’t give a damn about Constitutionality, regardless of who points it out to them.

As for the meth issue, I don’t understand why people aren’t looking to Washington state as an example. The state had a bad problem with meth labs and changed its approach to the problem and dramatically reduced the creation and existence of the meth labs. Of course, it’s still dealing with the inflow of meth from other states and countries, but at least it made a huge dent in its own problem – all without national identification.

With that said, where does the federal government assume the authority to supersede the right of the states to have their own identifications?

Of course thanks to the government moving the pseudoephedrine behind the counter and inhibiting sales many companies no longer make those drugs with it because they’re unprofitable. What a rousing success in the War on Drugs…as long as you don’t get sick, that is.

This is as insane as HIPPA; all personal data is protected, except for the government,DHS, FBI, and some insurance company watch dog group. I received a letter from a watch dog company in NY suggesting that I contact my Dr. to suggest that they do allergy tests to determine what I am allergic to so I can adjust my lifestyle and reduce/eliminate my need for the prescription Allegra.

Ahh thanks for your concern. I’ll forward your letter to the EPA!!

I’m of course not defending REAL ID — just saying.
