Or more to the point who should do the work? The often times politically connected professional lab clean up specialists have priced themselves out of the market now that the federal grants to pay their tabs have been exhausted. Some in Jackson county are suggesting using county jail inmates for cleaning meth lab sites.
"Unless the job requires some kind of great skill or training (which I doubt)", says one commenter, "I don't have a problem with using inmate labor to do meth lab clean ups. We use them to pick up trash on the side of the road and we should expand their use. Call it 'community service' or something and pay 'em minimum wage. A full eight hour shift at minimum wage covers the $25 a day for their incarceration that they're ordered to pay [already] and it keeps them from being such parasites on the counties' taxpayers. Win win, in my opinion."

"The materialistic and selfish quality of contemporary life is not inherent in the human condition. Much of what appears 'natural' today dates from the 1980s: the obsession with wealth creation, the cult of privatization and the private sector, the growing disparities of rich and poor." - NY Review of Books (Tony Judt)

"If a stranger batters your door down with an axe, threatens your family and yourself with deadly weapons, and proceeds to loot your home of whatever he wants, he is committing what is universally recognized — by law and morality — as a crime. In such a situation the householder has both the right and the obligation to defend himself, his family, and his property by whatever means are necessary. This right and this obligation is universally recognized, justified and even praised by all civilized human communities. Self-defense against attack is one of the basic laws not only of human society but of life itself, not only of human life but of all life."
