You have been well trained, grasshopper...
There is an old saying, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
I spend time in eastern NC, and whenever I drive past Riegelwood, there is an intense rotten-egg smell, permeating everything, from the paper mill there. I walked into a store, for a coke, and asked about the smell. The guy there said, "what smell"? He had lived there all his life, and didn't know he was supposed to be offended.
Tobacco smoke is usually aromatic, and made to smell good. It was a centerpiece of our culture, until slimeball lawyers determined it to be a cash cow. There are some pretty rich lawyers these days, and people, with your attitde, helped them get there...
PCism is a dangerous slope.
Lawyers are worse than any other curse to our country, and our freedoms. Thanks to them, we don;t have to worry if our child may choke on something, because the lawyers made sure there was nothing to choke on. Three more children MAY BE alive now, so that a lawyer could make a couple of million going after Hasbro, or Mattel.
Do you have any idea how many places you can travel to, in the USA, where they don't allow you to have eggs sunny-side-up, or steak tartar? It's AGAINST THE LAW. Someone MAY get sick.
Wake up, and smell the cigars.
If I bother you, by smoking, ask me to stop, or move away. I have the same set of rights, as you. If I want to be considerate, I will. But I have no idea why the gum't has any bizness worrying over my boorishness... I guess, maybe, because there aren't enough 'conservatives' willing to reject this crap, that keep the gum't thugs, and the lawyers, busy!
Keep that PC stuff to yourself. I don't share your enthusiam.
Click it or ticket.
Do you think she cares?
