And so it begins. If it weren't so disgusting, this would be funny.

Smokers never thought that they would become pariahs because they acquiesced to not smoking in certain situations.

Now it's the (for lack of a better term) "fattie's" turn.

I'm reminded of a quote, part of which goes:

When they came for the Jews, I said nothing, for I was not a Jew

When they came for .....

When they came for ME, there was no-one TO speak up.


Can you say "Hoist upon one's own petard"?

I vill not smoke!
I vill not overeat!
I vill not drink!
I vill exercise!

I vill be der UberAmerican!

Oh good grief.

Too many places to start... I think I will just go pack instead.

Morning Don.

Generally attributed to Pastor Niemoller in Nazi Germany:

First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.

One of Miss Rika's favourites. I'm tempted to say because she was there and heard him say it, but I won't.

Many years ago while I was working and saw what was hapening to the smokers I often made the remark "What's next obesity in the workplace"

Being obese isn't a threat to a fellow worker.
But we have gone so far down the road of insanity that protecting people from themselves is the next crusade. - Tom

Let's avoid the suffering and cut to the chase.

In 50 years or so if your DNA isn't perfect at birth you will be disposed of immediately, if you don't maintain a government approved lifestyle afterwards you will be sent to a re-training camp and if after 3 tries you don't improve you will be deemed an enemy of the state and eliminated in a humane manner for the health and safety of the peoples government.

Can anyone deny this isn't coming sooner rather than later?
