You would get along with my mother. She's been looking for an anti-discrimination lawsuit for a few months now. Somewhere, there has to be a lawyer who wouldn't mind making a few million dollars.

Incidentally, I had to take my son to the doc's today and was asked the standard question, "Are there any smokers in the home?" I answered, "My son is here for his diabetes. Your question is irrelevant to the present state of his health and a violation of my family's privacy." For the first time since I've been making my little statement, she didn't even blink. Usually, the questioner is quite flustered. They must be hearing it a little more often.

Did the doc also ask about guns in the home?

I loved all your bumper sticker ideas. Are they copyrighted anywhere?


The villification of smokers has led to

1. job discrimination - I know employers that wont hire a smoker - even if the smoker does not smoke at work.

2. Public ridicule - smokers are forced to backrooms or outside on the street - a lot like they used to treat the negro population

3. Lierals tell children in our schools that tobacco is a drug - without defining the differance between something like cocain and tobacco (I actually had one of my friends children (about 7 years old) tell ME (ME! AN ADULT!) - that I was "using drugs" Now, couldn't something like that be misunderstood if a cop happened by?

If I pay to buidl government buildings, I should have a place to smoke in them!
