YEAH! And the Bas&83ds STILL use that "mistake" of 53,000!! And NOT ONE SOB in the media has EVER called them on it!!! And I haven't contributed to the usual suspects for ten years. The local bar & small restaurant owners here (Toledo) did the same thing (boycotted them) and MAN, did they catch hell for it. That amendment passed anyway, modifying our council/newspaper imposed ban, allowing bars, private clubs, bingo halls, and any restaurant w/ ten employees or less (IE:local) to be exwmpt. All ADULT-frequented establishments. The usual suspects spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on TV ads trying to get the amendment to fail, but it passed anyway, despite their efforts & a DAILY onslaught by the BLADE (our local print rag, the owner & staff of "journalists" DESPISE smokers! There is NO DOUBT in my mind that the reason they're now going for a statewide ban is because they're so pi**ed at Toledo voters. They won't take a loss lightly, you know.
Time for people to stand up and take back private property rights. This is a good beginning.
Well, that is not their job to diss a group of people that choose to use a legal product. It is their job to educate and find cures. They make me sick and I haven't donated to them in years.
Just like the United Way. They will NEVER get one dime from me! OR the AARP. Damn, the list just gets longer, doesn't it?!
Me either. I quit when the "research" money was getting used to do antismoking ads instead of cancer research. Imho, there is a lot that causes cancer, and while prevention is nice, it is not a cure.
That (a cure) is what the goal should be, because long after tobacco has been eliminated, cancer will still be around. (Then what will they blame it on?)
