I have raised tobacco, been a fireman, work on oil rigs, have rock climbed, spelunked, and have been riding motorcycles for about 30 years. I own firearms and carry concealed (with permit). I have been a smoker for nearly as long. (I have seen a vehicle which hit a moose also, in North Dakota--messy, but the occupants fared better than the moose). Life is fraught with risk, and frankly, that keeps it interesting.

My remarks were sarcastic, referring to the way our Congress finds endless ways to screw us.

The tobacco settlement was a ripoff.

Smokers knew that, but the Government was getting settled into the idea that you can screw one person in five and the other four will either cheer or abstain from comment.

So now the pogrom continues...

The only question is: Who will be next?

My bet is on all the disabled and elderly.... then the 'mental incompetents'.... then maybe a religous group.....just like the Nazis.

Well, someone will be next, you can count on it.

The world the way we knew it is no longer. People scream Freedom of Choice and Freedom of Speech........and soon that scream will just be an echo.

If you ever saw the Terror Map and the Terroriost among us in the United States, it's easier to understand what has happened to our society as we used to know it.

Did you see that map, Joe?
