Crystal Meth, Desperate Times, and a Terrible Man Named Dick Dasen

Roger Ailes (the non-antiChrist version) points to a New West article (a longy that actually loads very fast) spelling out the story of wealthy, church-going and GOP-supporting Dick Dasen and charges that he ruined his town by using crystal meth as the currency by which he could engage in sex with a number of young women everyday.

The article's a fascinating read but a scary one. I confess I know virtually nothing about the crystal meth explosion in this country and how it's a huge deal in rural areas. Just the number of crystal meth lab arrests listed in the article for a small town of 15,000 is phenomenal.
