Why?

Adventures of a Modern Day, Middle-Aged Hero, on the Glory Road(to family security)

5.26.2011

At least they knocked...

Let's say you are a 91-year old lady.  To supplement your social security, you decide to use the internet to sell people a plastic bag and some tubing for $60.  Highway robbery, to be sure, but worthy of the FBI's efforts?

Well, apparently so, especially when you advertise your plastic bag and tubing as a 'Suicide Kit', and then some guy in Oregon uses one of your 'Suicide Kits' to kill himself.

Having solved every other problem in the State of Kalifornia, a dozen Federal Agents payed a visit to 91-year old Sharlotte Hydorn this morning, breaking up her little plastic bag and tubing sales shop. 

Having no religious opposition to the concept of suicide, I am totally okay with someone deciding that they have had enough, and punching their own ticket.  I also think that that person should have the technology available to make this happen in as pain free and failure free a manner.  The FBI spending the time and resources to send a 12-man team to take down this operation is offensive to me as a tax payer. 

Maybe if all these 'green' cities didn't start charging extra for using a plastic bags at the grocery store, these folks wouldn't need to pay $60 for a bag and some tubing.  That is the real crime here.
