The manifold evils of superglue
I love it. Last night after work, I had a little fit of inspiration(washing dishes can be more
inspiring than you think). It seems this cute subwoofer I picked up at a bargain a few weeks
ago has a small tear in the cone, which I think I'd be able to patch with a little itty-bitty bit
of super glue. So, naturally, the cashier was not amused by the teenager at the counter at 1:00
in the morning trying to buy superglue, a controlled substance.
Let me explain. Kids in this state are so desparate for a cheap high that they'll actually snort
superglue, at serious risk of sealing their nose shut. In response, individuals under 18 are no
longer allowed to purchase the stuff. No matter that potential hallucinogens are found in many
other household substances, or that many locally abundant plants and animal secrete some
druggy stuff (ever heard of frog licking?); we gotta ban super glue. Oh well.
