Bonehead Bureaucrats


What boneheaded bureaucrat thought up "child-proof" prescription medicine caps?  And then proceeded to make IT the standard, rather than the option?  Young parents are already protecting their kids six ways from Sunday - government-required car seats, government-required helmets for speedy tricycles, they can cover their electrical outlets, pad coffee table corners - the list is endless.  

Those I don't give a damn about.  But struggling to get at my medicine is another thing altogether.  And I'M the one who has to remember to ask for it in a normal container, not one that is hellish, which, again, IS THE STANDARD.

Young parents with kids are ALREADY in "protect" mode - they can certainly request medications in hard-to-open-for-everyone containers, or better yet, buy aftermarket protective caps. 

Leave the rest of us alone.
