Elf -- I must disagree with you here. I'm fairly libertarian (lower-case "l") in most social issues, but I have no problem with making pseudoephedrine difficult to obtain in large amounts. I don't know to what extent you are aware of the damage that the manufacture and use of methamphetamine are doing, particularly to rural communities, but the social ravages of crack and heroin are a genteel cocktail party by comparison. This shit is incredibly cheap and easy to come by, and incredibly addictive and destructive. Recovery rates are abysmal.

Anecdote: A new staff member at our office is also a penal officer at a youth facility in the Portland area... among her teen and even pre-teen charges, meth addiction is around 80%.

C'mon, guys. It's just a cold medicine, and it's just a bit of inconvenience. Please consider the bigger picture.

Cheers,
