But wait, I thought the problem was evil guns.

Just a thought, unless you were trying to act liberal but: America's number one sleep aid.... Perhaps the name of the drug in question? Or you just want me to google it and find 10 different opinions on which is number one? Facts are important.

William, click the link, and you fill find, unsurprisingly, that the evil sleep aid in question is Ambien.

All Mike did was quote the link's headline, he didn't write the headline.

I was surprised that Ambien was #1, although several people I know had it prescribed for a first effort at sleep control. I thought it was only recommended for temporary use, not for long term usage.

an ex-girlfriend used ambien. got up in the middle of the night and said she was going to use the bathroom..I went back to sleep..3 hours later I get a phone call. she woke up in my jeep and had no idea where she was.

she had stolen my keys, and the jeep, driven close to 100 miles, bought some snacks and a jug of wine, and traveled up an old logging road..with absolutely no memory of any of it.

ambien is a scary drug, and really shouldn't be on the market.

Most USDA drugs shouldn't be on the market - at least how they are anyway. The "approved " list is pure foolishness. Government doesn't have authority to mandate ban or even sanction "drugs ".
What people imbibe is their own business, their own choice to make - themselves.

Like the ATF, there shouldn't even BE a USDA. All the alphabets do is provide a false sense of security and provide a means to grow government and it's control.

Ambien may work perfectly for one insomniac and make another a jeep stealing zombie. That is true with any drug REGARDLESS of a USDA "approval" or denial. Point being - no government agency can mitigate the outcome for an individual when imbibing ANYTHING! Not drugs, not oysters, not beef not ANYTHING!

Jeep thieves have to have enough sense not to take that medication ever again.

Isn't it interesting that almost everything always boils down to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY ? The only solution is to admit that government, no matter how big and powerful, can never be a replacement for personal responsibility. Period.
