LOL (anyone got a match?)

I have never done any drug other then a little pot, when I was young, as most of us did. I can't say I have ever tried meth. But I know I never will either.
I don't care what anyone says, I say keep it illegal.

I just found this in the Benton Evening News. I used to live in that town, so I read the paper from there from time to time.
At the end of the article are comments from people who have read it. If you read none of the others, make sure you read the first one. I have added an angry face at the first of it so there is no mistaking it.
What is this world coming to?

East St. Louis, Ill. -
A. Courtney Cox, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, announced Tuesday that four defendants from Southern Illinois have been sentenced in the U.S. District Court for their roles in a conspiracy to manufacture and distribute methamphetamine in Franklin and Williamson Counties.

Much of the methamphetamine manufactured by the members of the conspiracy was “cooked” at property controlled by co-conspirators Dion and Anton Halaska that was located outside of Johnston City.

Dion Halaska, 38, of Johnston City was sentenced to serve 159 months’ imprisonment to be followed by a term of five years’ supervised release.

Anton “Tony” Halaska, 41, of West Frankfort was sentenced to serve 135 months’ imprisonment to be followed by a term of five years’ supervised release.

Clarence “Bubba” McCay, 26, of Herrin was sentenced to serve 80 months’ imprisonment to be followed by a term of five years’ supervised release.

Marshal Rosenberger, 28, of Cambria was sentenced to serve 110 months’ imprisonment to be followed by a term of four years’ supervised release.

All defendants were ordered to jointly pay $6,913 in restitution for the cleanup of the methamphetamine-manufacturing materials and by-products that were seized from the Halaskas’ property in 2003.

The investigation was led by the COMIT Drug Task Force with assistance from the Southern Illinois Enforcement Group, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Franklin, Williamson, and Jackson County Sheriffs’ Departments.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys James E. Crowe III.

You can bust every meth lab you can come up with and you will not even START to put a dent in the huge demand for meth. Meth addicts LOVE their meth and if you shut down the local labs then the Mexican mafia will simply increase the amount of meth it exports into the USA to meet the new demand. Methamphetamine should be legal. Legalizing meth would kill meth labs, meth houses and the meth mafia overnight. A group of 20,000 very serious policemen, prosecutors and attorneys have formed a group to legalize ALL drugs, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (http://leap.cc ) They see what happened when we legalized alcohol in 1932 as a good example of how drug legalization would work. We can't stop drugs. They're sick of chasing drug users and sending innocent people to prison for decades just because they like to get high. This foolish war on drugs has lasted 37 years and cost us over a TRILLION dollars and we are not an inch closer to stopping drugs. How many millions of Americans are we going to lock up in prison for decades? Legalize ALL drugs now. Mark Montgomery boboberg@nyc.rr.com

We live with people on meth every day. I'm not sure legalizing it is the way to go but it does have some merit. Legalizing any drug gives you the right to tax and regulate it. As it stands now all the pot, meth and crack are taxing the system from the inside out by way of drug enforcement , lawyers, rehab clinics and court costs. I don't use or advocate the use of illicit drugs but they are among us . Drug addicts are here to stay..and that is unfortuante. But the illegal drug activity from Mexico and South America is a multi-multi billion dollar industry. Something has to be done.. because the path we are taking with trying to catch them after the fact just isn't working!

HAPPY 52 YEARS YOUNG!!

PARTY TIME!!

You just contradicted yourself. And we are supposed to believe you?
Up above you said that this was your first time doing this. Now you have tried once before, make up your mind.

I have a friend exactly like that.
We would go out together, but it'd still only be as friends.

Sure do, I'd do anything for him.
And I do mean anything.

Not being small is also a big issue with the men as well. People are just so shallow anymore.
I would have no problem dating someone with a disability.

Trucks!!

I perved your profile and I see nothing wrong with you or your profile.



flowers for her for when you find her. Good luck.

Thank you. Mine may not be as valuable as yours sound, but also you can never put a price tag on sentimental value on things like that. I have no daughters, but my sons can have them if they wish. Their father loved me when he gave me those rings and my sons were born of the same love. No reason to take it out on the rings.

I still have all mine.
Figured my kids might want something their father gave me. Especially since he passed away.

My mothers birthday was on Dec. 11th.
And my son will be 22 on Dec. 22nd.

Happy Birthday to all those born in Dec.

Turkey can be used in all sorts of ways much like chicken.
Chop the turkey up and make turkey salad, put it in a salad, put it in an omelet, or cover it in BBQ sauce for sandwichs.

I have twin boys. When they were in school they would trade classes with each other. Took a long while for the teachers to catch on, and that was if they did.

I know, it's a beautiful song. And so sad.
I just hope someone remembers me with such beauty.

Yes, it is a very sad poem, I agree. I have never heard the other one about the child, but would like to.
Other then getting flowers and dying, of course, I have lived through it.

I have donated several times in the past. But am now unable to because of the meds I am on, or I'd still donate today.



Double reds? Never heard of that before.
