Fine. Ban bicycles from all public roads. They’re a major health hazard.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

I don't have much doubt but that there would be overwhelming support for the ban because that's how the people of Wisconsin feel."

Pathetic

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

BUMP!

From the article:
“I feel confident there is strong bipartisan support,” Doyle said.
*******************
If he felt so confident why is he bringing in Armstrong to Hamstrung the issue?

It's past the point of government recommending and or promoting, now the government is demanding.

It doesn't show a pretty picture for personal freedoms.

Casino's in CT are going to be facing litigation in court for years if the state tries to do what they want to do on sovereign land. Casino Dealers Want Tobacco Ban By MARK PETERS, Courant Staff Writer

February 29, 2008

The UAW is testing its new clout at Foxwoods Resort Casino, where the union successfully organized table game dealers in November, by trying to break up the long marriage of gambling and smoking.

Both tribes plan to fight it, but interestingly enough, it's the newly formed presence of the UAW that is bring this ban issue up.

Hitler smiles in hell.

I suppose these people would say "Sure, Hitler was a bad guy, but he had some good ideas."

[elkfersupper]

No reason to tell people where they can and can’t smoke.

Sure there is. It is the for the same reasons we have public service announcements on radio and television admonishing people to put on their seat belts.

Power, control and revenue enhancement.

[elkfersupper]

Armstrong has been tested for banned substances more than any other athlete or perhaps person in the world and had never had a positive result.

Well alrighty, then. Therefore he must be a self-righteous tree-hugging socialist.

[elkfersupper]

I’m with you.

[trumandogz]

He may be all of that and a jerk, but he does not dope or use steroids like Roger Clemens.

[CSM]

Smoking must cause cancer and that means that Lance must be a closet smoker! Or could it be that excessive riding to bicycles causes testicular cancer and therefore we should ban riding bicycles on any land in Wisconsin?

Hmmm, Lance, which is it? Boy am I glad I wasn’t dumb enough to fall for his yellow wristband scam.

[swarthyguy]

EFF it. I’m going to be like Lance and start smoking steroids!

[swarthyguy]

>.Sure, Hitler was a bad guy, but he had some good ideas

Well, he did.

Who’d feel more at home in America today, Stogiesmoking Churchill or cigholder FDR or smokfrei Adolf?
