Wow! A bicycle rider and a testicular cancer survivor - what credentials for a critic on American freedom issues.

Surrender now, smokers! Your better has arrived to pass judgement.

I wonder if Armstrong also spoke of the links between steroid use and testicular cancer?

I’m not a smoker, my parents and sister smoke, I don’t mind it much. No reason to tell people where they can and can’t smoke.

Gov. Jim Doyle the most corrupt Governor in the history of Wisconsin.

He’s be bought and sold by Casino Indians.

If this would pass your local taverns can’t have smoking but the casino right down the road can.

The Ingins (Indians) Have gave him millions of dollars to “Tobacco” Jim Doyle elected.

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.

The People’s Democratic Republic of Montgomery County, MD. pushed through a bill last year to ban smoking in bars, restaurants and hotels.

Not surprisingly, revenues from bars have been down as has been profits from hotels and restaurants in all districts of the County.

So, the people can expect yet another hike in the cigarette tax that those same people will blithely ignore by buying their smokes out of state, on-line or through the black market.

Jack.

“...ban smoking in all public places, including restaurants and bars.”

And all of these bans are to prevent second-hand smoke, right? Even banning outdoor smoking, smoking in your car, smoking in your apartment, or on your patio, etc? If it were only about second-hand smoke, we’d only ban smoking indoors in public places.

bicycling star Lance Armstrong ... a cancer survivor and advocate, is coming to Madison on Tuesday to appear at a rally at Monona Terrace Convention Center with Doyle and smoke-free advocates.

I think that I'm going to Madison to rally for a bicycle free America. Bikes take up room on the sidewalks and highways, their manufacture leaves a big carbon footprint and people should walk more rather than cycle. Chillruns get hurt riding them thus running up the cost of both insurance and medical treatment, the helmets look goofy and the dorky little bike outfits are freakish. Besides, John F. Kerry rides one.

Of course he doesn't want any exceptions. If people had someplace, anyplace to go smoke, they wouldn't be properly coerced to quit and reduce smoking rates.

Gabz, Diana, how about we try something different. If Diana can post the phone numbers and email addresses for the public serpents who might be on the fence, we should email them the truth.
