Having fun? Or is there a point apart from your glee.

Make smokes illegal, I'd rather pay sellers than the state.

Dare ya! Funny how the states are now dependent upon revenue from the most ostracised element of society.

I hope they go after eating habits soon. Meat, beef in particular would be rather nice.

I'm sending money to PETA and some of the most liberal groups I can find.

But you're prolly vegetarian, too.

Let's see, there's virtually nothing that can't be regulated, controlled or taxed under the rubric of health.

You can't even see the endresult of all these statist policies, disagreeable as some of their target behaviors are to you; seems something as American and indicative of a free society as freedom of association which you have effectively gone after in your jihad against bars and nightclubs. Which until recently, were the last places one could freely smoke. So, it wasn't about health per se, but rather a vindictive, vicious exercise in domination, control and intrusion into an individual's behavior, just so it could be done. My feeling is that the virulence of the American Taliban's behavior and their motivation was to eventually limit liquor sales in bars and outlets. Asking for Prohibition would be too much, but smoking would be a safe way to eventually reach that reality, perhaps restricting alcohol consumption to private domiciles.

America's future may not be as Orwell said, a boot in humanity's face, rather a sensible granny shoe.

Whatever. But I wouldn't advertise it on FR.

Some other poster replied to me that he would rather go to France. Are you against him being informed?

Oh that was you! Are you still going to France?

That deserves a Quote of the Day nomination.
