Juveniles who have prior criminal records could also be placed in a residential treatment program if convicted, he said.

Think about that one for a second.If you get convicted of having sugar you can be put in a state rehab program what are you going to say at the meetings?Hello im john smith and im a sugaholic.Its been three weeks since I ate a powdered donut.at first it was just a tablespoon here and there to get me going in themornings but then the addiction got its claws in me and I moved up to the harder stuff brown sugar.But I still thought I could quit anytime I wanted until I started dosing with nutrasweet that eventually lead me down the dark road of splenda.After that I lost my job my wife and kids left me and I was living on skid row begging for spare change and giving strangers lewinskys in the bus station bathroom for pixie stick money before i ended up here.

this is the most retarded abuse of power by a school system under zero tolerance that ive seen in a long time and another constitution destroying aspect of the war on some drugs that is rabidly turnig us into a police state so of course a lot of people here on freerepublic support it. I wish to hell those people that support this crap would get off of here and start thier own website called www.enslaved statist.com because its apparent that they arent happy posting on freerepublic and they are absolutly miserable living in a free republic.

I have a fiance living in the philippines right now and I am very seriously thinking of moving there after i marry her and becoming a philippino citizen.I really dont see this country survivng more then 10 or 15 years as the usa maybe and quiet possibly it will be the u.s.s.a but thats not a country I want to be in so I will probably jump over the new berlin wall before its built because it will be way to hard to do so afterwords.

Be careful. There's a heavy spring on our door, so don't let it hit you in the a$$ on your way out.

Probably someone you meant through correspondence? They are coming after you too. I just read an article the other day that says they are or have passed a law requiring you to give all of your personal information to the girl you are corresponding with. The reason why is because this one guy in all the world killed a couple of mail order brides. Therefore we have to have American laws to protect them from evil American's.

We also have to have laws making it a federal offense to make a joke about sugar. This country is just going off the deep end. I agree with your comments about the nature of this forum. It was founded for the purpose of protecting our freedoms and our way of life from politicians. But we might better rename it "BigBrother.com" for the benefit of those who like the direction this country is going in.

I'm just reading this story now, and it sounds crazy, but I can understand how it might've played out:

Based on the story, I don't believe the kid was really bringing sugar into school for a science experiment. Do any of you? I remember kids in school selling bags of oregano or sometimes grass (from the ground) to other kids as "pot". This boy might've been trying to pass sugar off as cocaine and sell it to some unsuspecting kids. If so, yes, charging him with a felony is way too severe, but I could see how some form of punishment like suspension should be issued. (Flame away). :-)

Actually, what they will be FORCED to say is that they are an addict. This will be the only way to complete the mandatory rehab for the probation officer. If they don't LIE, they will be found uncooperative in their rehab program. What is being taught here is that bowing down to the almighty force of government is the only answer. That doesn't even touch on the NA attendance that will follow the rehab. These kids will gain more insight in the world of drugs from attending these, than they will ever learn in school.
