No, I just want to be left alone to pursue life and liberty. Too bad others want to interfere.

The government took away an essential right of a property owner.

To me, that's smacks as something akin to "eminant domain", just without the compensation.

Little Jeremiah...you should support the right to smoke...if you don't you may be next!!!

The erosion of Constitutional rights is a serious issue! You should think of something that is important to you that is banned, or taxed beyond availabilty.

I fully support FReeper smokers, and I suggest you might also. They provide a LOT of tax revenue!!

I'm not strong-arming...just asking you to think about if it was YOU that was being banned for something.

Thanks.

That is EXACTLY what it is.......a taking without compensation. But don't try to explain that to the ban proponents.........they put there fingers in there ears and "la di dah, I can't hear you" so blind are they in their aim of of control of everything anyone does.

I have asthma. Some of the main things that aggravate it are perfumes including those in cleaners and personal care products, mold, dust, and tobacco smoke.

Sounds like you need to move to Arizona, buy all your cleaning and personal care products at "Woe-Is-Me-Are-Us" and, oh yeah, DON'T GO TO RESTAURANTS, BARS AND LAUNDROMATS WHERE PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO SMOKE, bubbleboy.

Interesting list of books you have on your site. My mother bought Silent Spring, hook, line, and sinker. And we were farmers. Seesh!

If a Top Ten of harmful movies is ever assembled, I'd vote for The China Syndrome. All of us are paying an extra $25 or $50 a month in electric bill because of that movies effect.

I don't believe a word of it...............most especially after your behavior on the Jennings thread last night.

This were my 3 posts last night on the Jennings thread:

Post #3:
"FF and Mr. FF...all of us care for a lot of people with whom we disagree on politics, whatever. I hope this thread will stay clean with our prayers and thoughts."

Post #2
"Did you not see the intent of this thread? Pls take your comments to your own thread. Thanks."

Post #1
"One really kind thing I can say about Peter, is that on thie New Year's Eve coming into the year 2000, he did a magnificent job...dancing from fireworks display to fireworks display. (Remember, there was all the gloom-and-doom about Y2K.)

I told my honey at the time, "He is anchoring this like Fred Astaire."

My prayers for his family."

Those were my posts, Gabz...you can't handle the truth!!

Sorry - you falsely accused me of doing something last night and when you were shown your accusation was unwarranted you chose to ignore it..........I do not take kindly to those type tactics.

I can't handle the truth???? ME???????? what a screaming laugh riot.

You forget your post to me at post 155 about taking my stuff to the smoking threads........but of course you can't show that here because you obviously had it deleted after my response to you in post 159.

Here is the link for the section of the thread that shows you what I am talking about...

In post 155 (now deleted) you objected to my post 142 in post 159 I inform you I was referring to such posts as 152 which referred to Mr. Jennings "anti-american" attitude.

Please do not tell me I can not handle truth.......and do not tell me ALL your posts are public.....because obviously one to me is no longer public.

In all my time at Free Republic I have hit abuse maybe 5 times........and I assure you, your post was not worth the bother, so it was not me that axed that post of yours.
