Dearest Bev, we all love you, but I gotta tell you, you are being really, really defensive about smoking, kid.
But if you really want to seriously discuss it, consider that smoking
is optional. For most people, driving is mandatory.
Well, the Prez is the leader of his party and they all kow-tow to
him. And he does own the bully pulpit. Like God, all good things are
attributed to his greatness. Unlike God, he also gets credit for a
lot of the bad stuff. It goes with the territory.
Well, I am fully in favor of maximal personal freedom. Where it hits
a bump is when the freedom that A exercises impedes on B's rights. I
would downgrade any leader who led his people down an unhealthy
path.
fondness for smokers in my heart, since I was one for so long...he
would be THE perfect champion for an individual's right to smoke,
or toke, or whatever. :) Barack IS the new and improved Marlboro
Man...lol..
Bev, your bias is loud and clear. We got it. Smoking kills people. It
kills their lungs and it weakens their immune system so they get
sick from other problems more easily. You are manifesting the highly
intelligent human who subverts their intelligence to their emotions
on a serious matter.
Methinks the South doth protest too much. Probably guilty
consciences. Pretty declasse to put down people who take health
seriously, don't you think?
