THE METH PLAGUE

Behind the times: The main thing I took away from your methamphetamine series "The Perfect Drug" -- especially "Bad Medicine" ( Sarah Fenske, December 8 ( http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/Issues/2005-12-08/news/feature.html ) ) -- was that the authorities in this state are a bunch of dumb-asses.

It's just like the kind of fools we elect in Arizona to be so drastically behind the times.  That is, to think that putting cold remedies behind the counters is going to solve the meth problem.  End of story.  Problem solved.

Aren't these law enforcement experts supposed to know what's going on?! I find it funny that Governor Janet Napolitano, the former state Attorney General of Arizona, thinks she has been on top of the problem all along ( "Methology Redux," December 15 ( http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/Issues/2005-12-15/news/feature2.html ) ) when she apparently had to read it in New Times that supplies of meth are coming in from Mexico ( "The New Boss," Joe Watson and Robert Nelson, November 3 ( http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/Issues/2005-11-03/news/feature.html ) ).

Heaven help us when the governor of our state is so clueless!
