I'm not a great smoker. A cigar or two a week, maybe. I personally don't give a **** if I ever smoke again. However, I am sick of the gov't ramming it's nose further and further into the business of private individuals and groups. I am sick of the "health police" and their terrorist tactics.
A bright light appeared on the horizon last night and the bit passed before I woke up to what was being said. It seems that somewhere in Colorado a judge has reversed a smoking ban in some town or county. I think its temporary, but I would lke to hear from someone with more, maybe personal, information.
I have three friends [really!] who are so conservative they make me look like Lenin, or maybe even The Slickster's Wife, Hitlary. They yell about the gov't sticking their snouts into their lives, yet they go ballistic when they encounter a smoker in a restaurant. They try to get the management of the place stirred up about a smoker and so forth.
Smoking is dangerous, but I think that the lives that'll be lost when the Liberty Restoration Project gets into full swing will exceed the number of lives lost to second-hand smoke.
Another thing that seems a bit out of whack is the fact that we Americans [whites, at least] are supposed to be sensitive and celebrating the diverse cultures we are surrounded with. The Indians, whoops, Native Americans, gave us tobacco. Why are we throwing such a fit? Don't we appreciate what they did for us?
