Rock > What better way is there to abitrarily round up the undesirables in society than to pass draconian drug laws and lock em all up? Be glad that the laws in the US are not [yet] as extreme as those in Singapore. news.independent.co.uk >>For 12 years, Singaporeans lived in fear of being caught committing the most heinous crime imaginable: chewing gum. Now the tightly controlled city-state has lifted its ban on gum - but only registered users will be allowed to indulge. Gum is being sold for the first time since 1992, but only at chemists, and customers have to supply names and identity cards before they are supplied. Chemists who flout the law could be jailed for up to two years and fined £1,600. People can be fined for crimes as trivial as spitting or failing to flush public lavatories<< A first-time smoking offence carries a fine of $1000 asiatravel.com And being found with 30gm (1oz) of any drug carries a mandatory death sentence. ahrn.net
