But many of those 23 milliion would be more than happy to prevent the rest of us from ingesting. And that's the problem the moronic smoke banners just can't seem to come to grips with. Today, they get their wishes enacted into law. Tomorrow, the next least favored activity gains the spotlight. Each group with its pet peeve stands in line waiting for the legislature to drive another nail in the coffin of liberty.
Have you ever heard of the term "pecking order"? I'm told it describes actual chicken yard behavior. The "alpha" chicken can peck any other chicken in the group, the "beta" chicken any other chicken except the "alpha" chicken, etc. The "omega" chicken can be pecked by every other chicken and can peck none. Sometimes, the "omega" chicken gets pecked to death. The "psi" chicken becomes the new "omega" chicken, and the process repeats.
Today, smoking is the "omega" liberty. It is in the process of being extinguished. Zealots have discovered that to do so means that private property rights must be sacrificed. This does not deter them for their call only requires that others to cede rights, not they themselves. They absolutely cannot fathom that when smoking is universally banned, the "psi" liberty will become the next victim.
I'm not a smoker. I'm not an ex-smoker. I'm a never smoked-er. What I am, is a lover of liberty, and I know when it is being attacked. I support what you are doing, not just because you have a right to use your body as you see fit, but because this fight continues to expose the fraudulent activities of those who seek to enslave us all. These are the tactics of liberals, not conservatives. Their ends-justifies-means rationale requires they alter any study, provide any false witness, tell any whopper. And the number of "useful idiots" they attract is truly sad.
Thank you SO much! You know, we aren’t mindless boobs that think smoking is good for us. But this war on the smokers is just the beginning of the erosion of rights for the American people. I don’t care how they cut it or how they spin it, but when a group of well-funded anti-health fanatics go into a private business and DEMAND that they make their establishment smoke free…….this goes against all the grains of our being.
These well-funded anti-smoking health fanatics with an agenda will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. They will lie boldface to the American public, and the general public believes it. Taking their lies at face value without saying “wait a minute, let me do some research and find out if this is true.” No…….the general public, most of which do not smoke, could care less. It isn’t infringing on THEIR rights, so they do nothing about it. But you just wait! Someday in the not to distant future, the rights of the non smoking general public will be at risk, if we stay on the path that we are going.
Ok, I will get off of my soap box. LOL
