Listen, I’m being nice. I hope they pass the national no smoking in public places bill.

WHY? I mean if smoking is SO harmful ... ban it.

>Ban it

NOOOOOOO!

Apart from what that would do to children’s health and the coffers of the StateZillas and FedZilla, how else could Americans feel all self righteous and superior when contrasting themselves with the chimney heads?

Dammit, man, have some sympathy. Without smokers, Americans supercilious self esteem would take a battering.
