    Claritin is an antihistamine, you can buy ten bottles of 365 tabs per bottle at Costco right now.

    Federal laws prohibit the amount of pseudoephedrine/ephedrine/PPA (phenlypropanolamine) one can purchase in a day and month. These are decongestants that can be used in the manufacturing of meth. Some states have mandatory immediate reporting of these purchases (done electronically in real time at the Point of Sale). The other states are still using log books that list name/address/drivers license/signature of purchaser.

    You can buy loads of Claritin, but not Claritin-D, which contains the decongestant.

    Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005, have to test on it yearly for my job even though I never sell a single tablet/ml of the product.

    So yeah, I'm being a prick about it :)

    Per capita, we aren't anywhere near No. 1.

    I doubt the crafters of the 1st Amendment would recognize this piece of shit cell phone on my desk, either. They'd probably still mock me for it, though.

    If you stand in front of a mirror and say "radical Islamic terrorism" three times, will that stop all terrorist attacks?

    How U.S. gun deaths compare to other countries

    "Overall, our results show that the U.S., which has the most firearms per capita in the world, suffers disproportionately from firearms compared with other high-income countries," said study author Erin Grinshteyn, an assistant professor at the School of Community Health Science at the University of Nevada-Reno. "These results are consistent with the hypothesis that ourfirearms are killing us rather than protecting us," she said in a journal news release.

    We are No. 12. Which easily puts us in the top quintile is completely unacceptable, given our wealth.

    It's like finding out that Bel-Air has one of the highest gun-related death rates among U.S. neighborhoods, trailing only the poorest, most wretched and drug-infested neighborhoods. It wouldn't make a lick of sense.

    Here's a bumper sticker for you at no charge, T:

    The USA -- better than some Third World countries!

    We'd rank even better if it weren't for all those reliable Democratic voters shooting up the cities.

    That doesn't seem racist at all, T.
