In an absurd mis-balance of law enforcement, 8 people have now been arrested in the case of Olympic 14 gold medalist Michael Phelps. South Carolina seems to be pushing with everything it has to catch Michael Phelps for illegal Marijuana posession after a photo surfaced with the athlete holding a bong. While a breach of the law, this seems greatly exaggerated and a mis-use of authorities time and resources.

Else-where in the country, Peanut Corporation of America has filed bankruptcy after a salmonilla outbreak, and now rat parts, droppings, and other animal matter has shown up in it's peanut butter coming out of a facility in Texas. 2 seperate peanut butter facilities, operated by the same company, threatening the lives and health of people across the country, and so far no arrests.
Peanuts + Rats
As a lover of peanut butter, and knowing how much children across the country love peanut butter, I'd much rather have authorities accross the country checking and enforcing healthy food laws and regulations than a private weed smoking photo that is much less harmful and damaging to society.
