"Just saw your photograph with Mr. Ewatski. The following remark, coming from someone so badly in need of a root touch-up and with an obvious life-long weight problem, is really rich:
That's a good start. Making smoking illegal would be a better solution, but apparently the rights of too many yellow-toothed people would be stomped in order to ensure the rest of us have clean air. The ghettoization of smokers, reducing them to pack animals huddled together in parking garages and in back alleys , has been wonderful to watch but it hasn't gone far enough. It seems ardent smokers, the sort who claim they enjoy every cigarette (yes, even the ones stolen outside in minus 40 weather) are too hopelessly addicted or willfully stupid to quit.
Aren't you the "writer" who pointed out the difference between "public manners and private manners?"
This is a quote from you, right?
"Of course there are 'family' manners and 'public' manners," says mother and columnist Lindor Reynolds, who often writes about family issues in the Winnipeg Free Press. "But don't wait until you have your child out in public to tell her."
Is calling smokers "yellow-toothed" and "stupid" your version of "public manners?"
Or have you taught your children that passing hate for people who indulge in an activity of which you disapprove around the family supper table along with the peas is OK, just don't let the cat out of the bag in public? Wouldn't they be better served by just teaching them to be honest?
Have you taught them to demonize overweight people, also (Oops, watch out Mom, this one might come back to bite you.)?
More importantly, you've made very clear that you are astoundingly, resoundingly stupid. Not ignorant - stupid.
The life-style police, of which you are apparently a charter member, are the biggest threat to individual freedom that exists today. You've never understood the concept of "live and let live" and never will, unless of course the subject is the latest liberal pet group du jour. Then, of course, we must bend over backwards to "accommodate."
WOW! Excellent response, Madame Dufarge!! Good going!
This paragraph sounds like it came out of a spoiled 14-year-old kid on crack! This is from a very dark and evil mind, you know it?
Ms. Reynolds,
The following paragraph, to which you made, sounds like it came from a 14-year-old teenager on crack! You must have a very dark and evil mind:
"The ghettoization of smokers, reducing them to pack animals huddled together in parking garages and in back alleys , has been wonderful to watch but it hasn't gone far enough. It seems ardent smokers, the sort who claim they enjoy every cigarette (yes, even the ones stolen outside in minus 40 weather) are too hopelessly addicted or willfully stupid to quit. "
Mayor Bloomberg called New York City smokers stupid and crazy, and he is being sued over it.
I would much rather hang out with my surburban white soccer mom friends who smoke ANY day then someone like you. You’re a pathetic and sad woman. Why don't you find a life that you can live for yourself, instead of trying to live it for everyone else.
