Sounds like the people are taking the power back. I wish the candidates luck. Keep up the good work and get this fascism reversed!

Shouldn't this be labelled as satire?

It's called the Law of Common Sense For Pregnant Women.

Should a pregnant woman smoke? Should a pregnant woman patronize smoke filled establishments? What if she not visibly "showing with child", should an owner give a "pregnancy test" to all women entering his smoke-filled establishment? Should a pregnant woman seek employment in a smoke filled environment?

Keep up the good work and get this fascism reversed!

That reminded me of something I wanted to show you earlier today. a letter to the editor of one of the Delaware paper....note who the letter is from:

Public smoking ban is lunatic conspiracy

It has been one year since Delaware banned smoking in public places. Congratulations on joining the stupid states that have adopted such moronic legislation.

The United Fascist Union believes this anti-smoking insanity is being spread by a tiny but vocal minority of nuts who have money to get lobbyists to support their crazy cause, in spite of the fact that most Americans smoke and enjoy it.

Two members of the United Fascist Union grotto of Bear were telling me one of their favorite pubs is going out of business because of this idiotic ban. How can anyone say America is a free country when state governments can ban a simple pleasure like smoking cigarettes in public? Oh well, your loss is Maryland's gain, as people who smoke are coming across the state line to eat and drink.

The United Fascist Union recommends smokers organize themselves and become just as vocal as the lunatics in the anti-smoking camp before this madness spreads to every state and the American people lose yet another liberty to Big Brother government that's out of control.

Jackson K. Grimes, Director, United Fascist Union, Elkton, Md.

How's this.

Brains

The Smoke Gnatzies descended,
Their target was D.C.
Control the private property,
Take rights from you and me.
They met with some resistance,
An unexpected wall.
Council member Carol Schwartz,
Said silence to you all.
The people choose to make their choice,
Not us so please move on.
The people do not need your help,
Shut up and please be gone.

I tried a google on them to see what they are all about and my server is restricting access to their sites. Am I wrong, or is his letter reflecting exactly the opposite of what I would expect?

I think you're right.........That's what scared me.

I've got to go run some errands, but when I come back I'll see what I can find out about them

Later!!!

Where's the beef?..everyone gets a piece of the pie. You go where you want to go..I go where I want to go. We all have choices and I for one do not want the government placing restrictions on actions which are not Illegal and can be managed through pure common sense by all participants.
