The smoking Gestopo
All this second hand smoke crap is getting on my nerves! Today our local big mall, Carousel Center, banned smoking on it's grounds. Bar and restaurants did a few years ago.....ATTACK OF THE PC POLICE! uGGH! Sorry folks but I've never heard of someone dying directly from second hand smoke; and if you want to get real knit-picky what about the garbage smoke that is released into our air from places like Bristol Myers in Syracuse and thousands of other industrial sites in this country. Why don't we ever hear about the effect those have on health and how many people have died directly as a result? I suppose that's not harmful. Bottom line, people have smoked since the beginning of time and always will but policians conveniently demonize it so they can tax the hell out it. By the way, where's the ACLU on this one?
Second, what's up with this rapidly spreading and very deadly strain of staff infection? Pretty creepy if you ask me. I heard on the news it's been around for 10-15 years and kills more people than AIDS in the US every year.....????(source, a local doctor interviewed in Syracuse..Gilroy I think her name was). If that's the case why am I just now hearing about this? Whose agenda does it fit to keep it quiet while we hear about AIDS everyday? Kinda weird.
Last, this treaty being discussed in the Senate, giving the UN control over waterways and the ability to "levy fees"....or should we call it what it is, tax our country. I'll make a statement here and I believe 99% of America is with me on this.....I AM A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES, not some convuluted global community. I have no allegiance to any government other than the United States and I sure as heck hope our politicians feel the same way; OR AT LEAST START ACTING LIKE IT.
Question of the day: Why was Scooter Libby's sentence commuted and not our 2 border patrol agents who are in jail for doing their jobs? Can Pres Bush answer that tough question? Folks, you may not always agree with my views, I know the smoking one is not popular; but I really don't care. I am informed about things and even if a disagreement with my views causes someone to look further beyond the surface level bullcrap we are fed everyday, that's a good thing in my book.
Out.

Libby was just following orders, that’s why he’s off the hook. Guartanee he’ll receive a pardon when Bush leaves office. Politicians in general (sorry Camp). Liberal or conservative, they all have strayed… Perhaps their ego’s get in the way.

We’re waiting on the smoking gestapo to free our bars and restaurants. Until then, my family and I are limitied in our choices. No sports bar (therefore NO SU GAMES) for the young one.

Exactly right Sam, and that’s what wrong with our system…...(sorry Camp!)....Thoughts on our two border patrol agents in jail for doing their job?
