Interesting week in Arkansas

I have been slightly busy these last couple of weeks with work showing signs of picking up and some of my own much needed home repairs taking up some time, it feels good to get back here to rant.
First, there were a few drug bust mainly involving meth, I really don't care if some one wants to fry their brains with that trash as long as they can be responsible users and they show some respect for others. Of those busts some were charged with intent to distribute, I pretty well compare that to the pharmaceutical companies who have influenced the government to approve the drugs they developed as safe, while knowing they are not as safe as they are implied to be.
Doctors are licensed to practice medicine, but we are the ones paying to participate in the chemical testing for profit.
I personally do not use any over the counter medications or prescription drugs.
1)I believe they violate the laws of God and nature, after all God in his wisdom has provided us with natural organic products to sustain our lives.
2)I believe as a consumer I should have the final say as to what extent I will accept, tolerate, and trust the advances of modern medical science.
3)If our elected officials are so adamantly sure they are right in their opinion as to what is to be acceptable then it shouldn't take a court of law to hold them accountable for that opinion or any damages and deaths associated with the products they claim to be the right choice and only choice for all people.

Second, a federal judge has issued a stay of execution for a convicted murderer, this is not closure for the family of his victim, I am conflicted about capitol punishment on one hand I think he deserves to die, on the other I think the worst punishment he could get is complete solitary confinement with no contact of any kind including his own family, no books, tv, exercise, he can sleep on the floor like an animal. This will put him in a position to think about his actions, and will most likely drive him insane.

Third, let's not forget the federal indictment of 31 people for questioning of a suspected drug trafficking ring. No charges were filed against any of these people at this time, so I am guessing that the feds hope that someone will incriminate themselves through this intimidation tactic.
