At what level of risk do you expose your children to unnecessary risk ? For me the level is zero.

Really. You keep them in an airtight plastic bubble?
Nothing but purified boiled water?
No sharp corners and only velcro fasteners?

BS, Ray.
Don't pee on my leg and try to tell me it's raining.
Until you can find a risk that rises, even, to casuality don't insult my parenting with that claptrap.

It's for the CHIDREN mantra is for LIEberals.

Your children are exposed to all sorts of "unnecessary" risk if you allow them to eat anything but health food, if you allow them to come into contact with other children who may be sick, if you allow them to breath polluted air, if you allow them to drink tainted water, and if you have not thoroughly examined all property within miles of your house to make sure no contaminants have reached your house and your precious darlings.

Life is risk.

If you don't want your kids to have any you will have to kill them now. :-(

The thread is about taxes, you think it's about your obsession with the dangers of smoking. You are a troll on this thread. You admitted it.

you betcha... specially the extra-legal ones =8^)

Christmas/NewYears, Birthday, Superbowl, Daytona500, first F1 race, first baseball/football game, Indy/F1-USGP, races at WatkinsGlen, etc.

the big plus is... the only time i drink, is when i have a smoke!!! so a cigar and a couple three drinks really hits the spot by time the next occasion comes round, like yesterday. next time is sunday for the Rights of Spring Party and then no more till opening day of baseball.

Just went to a site. They have already converted. You can write an electronic check. Where there is a will, there is a way.

You aren't showing trend, you are showing RR - something you apparently do not understand. As none of your "trends" mean a bloody bit of anything.

Why don't you just stay off these threads?

You are a hypocrite and brag about being one.........why I have no clue, but you seem to consider it some type of badge of honor.

In otherwords, off topic trolling for a flame wars. OK, now I understand.

That is Raycpa's stock in trade.

He's a nuisance, but at least he is a polite nuisance. He likes increased tobacco/cigarette taxes because they benefit him as a non-smoker. In other words, he's of the sort that agrees with increased taxes and increased government as long as they don't come after him.

A "convenient conservative".............

If the level of RELATIVE risk is below 2 or even 3 it is zero........so what is your problem?????????

Stick to taxes and don't bother trying to figure out epidemiology and its use of statistics - it's beyond your comprehension - as you keep proving.

As long as the tax is voluntary. Don't smoke, don't pay.
