"Painting with such a broad brush makes you just as guilty as those you lambaste."

Of course it does. That was the whole point, to show how obnoxious and illogical Conservatives can be by using their own arguments against them.

"My battle right now is to keep the things I consume legal. If that makes me a 'scum Conservative" in your opinion, so be it. In my opinion it shows common sense."

Your efforts will fail because your root principles have been compromised by the WOD.

"Your entire attitude is out of line and your comments uncalled for. "

The presentation was designed to irritate those with thin skins.

You completely missed the point of my comments.

And again you use the same broad brush. What you say may very well be true about some conservatives, but not all, not by a long shot.

Your presentation did nothing more than make a futile attempt at muddying the waters by mixing apoples and oranges and using unneccesary ad hom attacks.

Unreal, here we go again.

This keeps up and I'm going to have to figure out how to grow and dry my own tobacco.

The more the nanny state tells me what to do, the more inflexible I become in my desire not to do what they want me too.

For the second time, you've missed my point, so I'll just move on and say to you, "GET A GRIP AND GET A LIFE. LIGHTEN UP, MAN." Gees.

Well, living up here in northern Maine, our summers are WAY too short. I'm not sure how we could ever grow our own tobacco. We are happy buying it down town for now at $5.75 a bag. So, I guess we will deal with rest should it happen.

It IS a real mess, isn't it?

Gees, ditto to you. You missed all my points as well, so one of us is an idiot.

Who are you talking to? I must have missed something. If it's Max, he is one sharp man and VERY intelligent!
