this'll probably burst your bubble

155.218.183.233


I don't smoke. I just don't want people telling me I have to stand outside to talk to my friends. It's ludicrous!


1) the evidence on damage by second hand smoke grows. For most,
when the link between damage to fetal development and smoking (even secondhand) became well established, the argument was over. Unless you are asserting you have a right to cause harm to other people?

So, are you saying you WOULD arrest parents for smoking?


2) Maine taxes Twinkies. It started a mini tax revolt, and it is going away.

Please tell me you're kidding. I wasn't expecting this level of tyranny for another decade. The left is ahead of schedule!


3) The publicly stated purpose of the Traffic Safety people is... safety! There has been a steady decrease in fatalities largely thanks to their efforts. On their behalf, let me say you're welcome.

There has been many an unconstitutional law imposed on the masses under the guise of safety. If that's the punishment for living, let me die free instead.


4) The use of the word 'proof' is improper. There is a growing body of evidence linking second hand smoke to health risks. Among scientists this is almost to the stage i like to refer to as: 'controversial as mud'.

Proof is completely valid where their is an overwhelming statistical evidence from laboratory experiments. Don't forget the great unwashed also believes "global warming" is just as controversial as mud, but its hasn't been substantiated either. Much like cholesterol, it has only been successfully linked to strokes if the count is too low, but the complete lack of facts didn't stop its adoption.


5) Thank you for the insult, it's nice to know where you stand.

I'm sorry if the "term" wasn't appropriate for you. I was addressing the people who want to ban tobacco, but legalize marijuana which has been proven to be worse in every category. It's insane!


6) Drug policy in this country is a disaster. Another legacy of RMN. There is an impressive body of work on the subject, from economic analyses, to polemics. Let me refer you to "Ain't nobody's business if you do: The absurdity of consensual crimes in a free society" by Peter McWilliams. I have no intention of even synopsing
the dozens of papers, and books, i have read on the subject; but that
is a remarkable book.

I agree the lack of any drug policy lately has been an unmitigated disaster. Let's make one before we turn into another Holland where they lost their next generation to drugs.


7) You have probably never listened to Dr Koop speak of what he did, why, and how he did it as Surgeon General. Not only does it make a good story; but my respect for the man became enormous. He did
this country a great service. You know how a penny doubled every day
becames a million? Substitute dead bodies for pennies, and you have a good start on what epidemiology is about, and why hundreds of thousands of Americans owe their lives to him.

I've only listened to Dr. Koop which partially explains why I mispelled it. However, I haven't heard C.E.Koop espouse these facts. I did hear him say it warranted looking into it as well as other theories, which means precisely nada.

However, to hear him speak about possible fetal damage while proposing the child's cruel & unusual execution as proper prenatal care, denies his credibility.


8) you are better than this, Mart.

Thanks, I believe you are too

just my 2¢
