As I understand the situation, TCU and the police have set out to ruin a young entrepreneur's life. Presumably, Oliver sought out a foreign supply of Valium at a lower cost and sold it on the domestic market. A more fitting punishment, it would seem, would be the forced transfer of Oliver to the business program and three hours credit for the creation of his enterprise. We as humans have the inalienable right to control the processes relating to our bodies, yet when one attempts the free exercise of that right they face expulsion and imprisonment. America holds on high capitalism and free market economics, but when a citizen attempts these practices they face expulsion and imprisonment.
Laws curtailing the right of an individual to regulate their own body are by definition invalid.
Allowing corporations, a social construction, rights but denying those rights to an individual is ludicrous. Someone explain these contradictions, please. Signed letters, columns and cartoons represent the opinion of the writers and do not necessarily represent the opinion of the editorial board.
