I have a friend who was given a ticket for smoking outdoors, above-ground on property owned by the subway system. I haven't smoked in 25 years, and that's my choice, but I hate when busy-bodies legislate their will to the masses because they think they are too stupid to think for themselves. To my mind, we are going to drop dead from something, and if you want it so, it might as well be from smoking. What I hate even more is when you make a statement like I just have, and some sneaky b*stard says "It's not fair for smokers to cause health insurance rates to increase." These are the same people who support the right to eat anything you want and have sex with partners who have incurable, communicable sexual diseases. Foolish driving, eating lard out of the can, and sex with diseased partners all raise health insurance rates. And what kind of morons would allow their lives to be led by insurances companies? Storm their offices, apprehend their personnel and tie them up in the public square for children to throw rotten things at. All while documenting the events with the fine Leica camera system on b&w, of course. Sam S Philippe Orlent wrote: >Good one :).
