Is the "world" just stupid?

My wife just turned me on to the newest "stupid" thing to be enacted by politicians in this country, particularly the state of Indiana. Starting July 1st, it will be illegal to possess or sell "bath salts" in the state of Indiana. Yes, bath salts.

Here's the deal, there is apparently a new designer drug being sold "legally" in corner shops, truck stops and online that is being advertised as "bath salts". Now, this "drug" is not the same composition or chemical likeness of the bath salts that you would buy at Walmart, or Bed Bath & Beyond, which you actually use in the bathtub. But thanks to the knee jerk reactions of politicians, anything that is called "bath salts" are going to be illegal starting July 1st in the state of Indiana.

So does this mean that if I create a designer drug and start marketing it under the name "poop", that they'll pass a law outlawing all poop, and anyone caught manufacturing poop will be arrested?

There is no end to the insanity in this world....

Taking a bigger lead

Looks like yesterday Barack Obama has taken a bigger lead by sweeping North Carolina and "almost" taking the lead in Indiana, which few were expecting him to show even that respectably here in the hoosier state. I would have liked to seen Mr. Obama take Indiana as well, but I guess this is going to have to be drawn out a little bit longer. He has now stated though that he's going to begin campaigning in states other than just the Primary states that are left to win. This is a definite sign that he's planning on winning the nomination, otherwise why spend money campaigning against John McCain?

It's my personal opinion that Barack Obama is the candidate offering the best hope of repairing the damage that's been done to the moral fabric of this country over the past seven years. John McCain is just another George W. Bush, with the same idea that military confrontation is the only way to handle everything...and Hillary Clinton will bankrupt this country that's already in dire trouble with healthcare and economic plans that just don't make any sense whatsoever.
