I got an email from a resident that says at the Community Pharmacy they now have a sign that says Oxycodone no longer sold there. Is this a new trend locally ?
Comment Worthy A Post
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "No Death Penalty? Then Mandatory Life In Prison Fo...":
1) Executions in Maryland are running about 37 Mill for EACH
(5 executions=186 Million)
You must REALLY want people dead to spend that kind of jack.
https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://deathpenaltyinfo.org/CostsDPMaryland.pdf&embedded=true&chrome=true
2)The cost to Incarcerate a prisoner for a year is 23K. So if the inmate lives for 1610, its cheaper to execute, otherwise the money argument runs to the life without parole end of things.
Some would argue that reform of the way Death Penalty cases are handled would reduce the cost and it will, but it will never become cheaper to kill rather than incarcerate because the deliberation that any non-sociopathic person would want to take before taking a human life would dictate it.
3) Life without parole should not be accompanied by country club amenities. While I don't think condition quite qualify as country club as some have said, I do believe there should be severe limitations on what these types of prisoners get.
It should be hard damn time. The hardest there is.
4) As hard as it can be and as severe as you can make the time, its never been shown to be a deterrent to capitol crimes. The death penalty is quietly accepted as retribution.
5) I've talk with people in prison in the course of my job. Its not the wonderland some seem to think. Imagine your whole life staring at the same walls. Family forgets you. Kids grow without you or are raised by someone else. Wife/woman takes to someone elses bed. Parents sick, can't go to see them. parents die, you can't go to the funeral. Kids marry, same four walls. Grandkids. Same four walls.
Its execution- one day at a time dragged out over many many years.
6) Finally, and not for nothing, the rise of DNA has shown us just how often we get it wrong. You can't unkill a person wrongfully convicted and its just as wrong for the state to kill an innocent person as it is for a person to do so.

I am a supporter of the death penalty but for the people that want to oppose it, then would you be supportive of mandatory life in prison with no parole for people convicted of 1st degree murder?
Maryland Should Follow Texas Gun Laws
The Basics
Q: How long is the waiting period to buy a Handgun / Shotgun / Rifle in Texas?
A: There is no waiting period for purchasing a firearm in the state of Texas.
Q: I just moved to Texas, do I have to register my firearms?
A: No, there is no state registration of firearms.
Q: I just inherited / bought a gun from someone in Texas, do I need to transfer the gun to my name?
A: No, there is no state registration of firearms, thus there is no requirement transfer the firearm in your name.
Q: What is required to purchase a firearm in the state of Texas?
A: You will need a valid state-issued ID. Many FFLs will not sell to out-of-state residents. This is due to the FFL's requirement to uphold your resident state's gun laws, and the inherient complexity associated with many states.
Q: Can I carry a firearm on my person?
A: Yes, with proper licensing (Concealed Handgun License) you may carry a pistol or revolver on your person so long as it remains concealed. Long guns (rifles / shotguns) do not have to be concealed, but must be carried in a manner not calculated to cause alarm, and do not require a license.
Q: Can I strap a gun on my hip in Texas?
A: No, with some exceptions. Open carry is not legal in Texas, but you may open carry on your own property, in the commission of a sporting activity (competition, shooting ranges, etc.), and while engaged in hunting.
Q: Can I carry a firearm in my vehicle?
A: Yes. With the passage of the Motorist Protection Act you may now readibly carry handguns, loaded and within reach, so long as you conceal the firearm. Long guns (rifles / shotguns) do not have to be concealed and may be loaded and within reach.
Q: Are machine guns / suppressors / short-barreled firearms, etc. legal in the state of Texas?
A: Yes. All NFA rules apply. See this FAQ for more info regarding Class III / Title II items.
Q: Are "assault weapons" banned in Texas?
A: No. Texas abides by Federal law which at this time has no restrictions on so-called "assault weapons" such as semi-auto AR15, FAL, G3 / HK91 rifles.
Q: Is there a limit on the number of rounds a magazine may hold?
A: No. The only limit on magazines in Texas is the number of rounds you are physically able to cram into the thing and/or carry and/or afford.
Smoketh Thy Poteth
Yesterday Evangelist Pat Robertson said Pot should be legal and treated like Alcohol, your thoughts? I will say a great number of criminal cases each year are pot related cases and maybe there should be some kind of field sobriety test for a certain level? Would that free up jail cells for worse offenders? Is pot the gateway to harder drugs?
