"Now neurotic urban-dwellers outnumber rural citizens and out-vote them. Urbanites and their weird artificial existence increasingly dictate to America what is "normal."

I agree whole heartedly.

Remember the red and blue county by county map showing Gore vs Bush wins? The vast land mass of rural America overwhelmingly voted Bush, while very small areas of the densly populated big cities voted Gore.

"Then how much freedom is too much freedom?

I'd settle for the freedom spelled out in the Constitution.

"How much freedom is too little?"

What we have today (or is that don't have?).

"How much freedom are you used to?"

I don't know, but I am certain I could get used to a whole lot more than today.

"How much freedom, how little freedom, are others used to?"

Don't know, don't care. It's not my obligation or nature to tell others what to do or not do. But I will defend my inalienable rights.

So-called? The conservatives I know, don't pimp death like the smokers do.

"Pimp death?" Would you like to explain that comment, or are you just another pseudo-conservative in liberal's clothing skulking around hoping for a flame war?

What a truly offensive comment. Particularly to a fellow FReeper. There are a few things I have said about the anti-smoker cartel that I have never said on FRee Republic because I will not speak to a FReeper that way. You might wish to follow that example.

And while you didn't make it directly to me, you included me when you said "smokers" therefore it was directed at me - and I am offended.

If you don't like the fact that I smoke, patronize establishments that do not permit it - but don't force all establishments to cater to your whims.

Considering I asked the nearly identical question 24 hours later - I guess it was a hope of a flame war. Good Grief I need to read through the threads before I start!!!!!
