Just another step in the dipshit drive toward complete prohibition of tobacco.
Hey, after all, prohibition of the evil alcohol worked out so damn well, didn’t it?
Happy days for all the smug, self-congratulatory busybodies who feel they have a direct pipeline to righteousness and have no qualms about forcing their personal preferences onto people they don’t even know.
Beware, fat people: they’re coming for you next. And the control-freak bastards won’t be happy until they’ve put up enough legislative fences to force everybody on the planet to live the way they know to be best. If they get their way, it will be mandatory bean curd and yoga every day, like it or go to jail.
I don’t smoke. But I think it’s about time to start.
BMalion, weren’t you making fun of overwrought denunciations just a short time ago?
You’ll enjoy this excerpt from today’s letter to the editor of our local paper, The writer, noting that Dec. 7 is the day Ohio’s public smoking ban goes into effect, compares the two-thirds of voters who approved the initiative to Fascists:
*Dec. 7 also is Pearl Harbor Day. Remember? Interestingly, the Allied leaders of World War II — President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Soviet leader Josef Stalin and British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill — were prolific smokers, while Axis leaders Adolf Hitler (who is credited with the first anti-smoking propaganda in history) and Benito Mussolini were both frightened by tobacco.
Choosing this national day of remembrance to sacrifice yet another freedom on the altar of political correctness gives real Americans (an apparent minority in Ohio) a second reason to remember Dec. 7 as a day of infamy."*
Um…take a deep breath there, fella. Remember - now you can.
But they are so plentiful. At least here in this small Montana town. The bar, restaurant, and hotel owners are having to cut hours because they simply can’t get enough employees. They’ve asked the Chamber of Commerce to facilitate getting temporary workers from other countries to fill the jobs that have been posted for weeks or months without a single application coming in. If you’re a good bar or restaurant worker, you have your choice of jobs out here.
