This mess is an inevitable result of not allowing reason or common sense the oxygen it needs to breathe. Without disrupting the topic I would venture to suggest that the three strikes and you are out rule with the removal of a judges trained use of applying common sense to balance society's need for justice is a very similar situation.

I agree with everything you've said here... About the headache tablet, though. I came from a school that DID suspend someone for giving out cough drops. I hate policies like that. They discourage independent thought and arbitrary obedience of rules without using judgement and yes, common sense.
