“If they overdose and kill themselves, it just removes them from the gene pool”

[KingOrfeo]

That's a Missouri state senator's take on prescription drug abuse.

Senator Rob Schaaf has thwarted bills to create a prescription drug database, which exist in every other state.

<snip>

Schaaf’s threat to repeat his 2012 filibuster has thwarted attempts by other Missouri legislators to establish a monitoring program over the past six legislative sessions. Although Schaaf is a physician himself, he has opposed creating a PDMP by claiming that it would violate privacy rights. As recently as last year, Schaaf claimed that PDMPs “don’t work. And it’s an infringement upon people’s privacy. Most people don’t want the government to have that information and have it on a database in which many people can get it.”

And yes, he's a Republican.

Same effect on the gene pool, isn't it?

He wouldn't give a shit, mention Mary-Jew-WANNAH!!!! SATAN'S LETTUCE!!!

And he'll be screaming about "Think of the children!!" in no time.






(R)'s are so full of fucking shit talking about conservatism, limited goubbmint and capitalism.

As bad as (D)'s blowing talk of "progress" and equality out their ass.

Nothing but liars spouting rhetoric while they whore the power of the pen out.

You should seek help for that before you do something that lands you in prison.
