From Cato Institute

An Absence of Tobacco Evidence. By Patrick Basham, Cato Institute. The government knew that this claim, and the evidence that it was based on, was not true. Recently released DoH correspondence shows that the government was told in a March 2009 email that removing tobacco displays in Canada 'has not caused a decline in tobacco sales or discourage[ed] kids from smoking'. Yet, the anti-tobacco lobby continues to push for even more far-reaching tobacco control legislation. This past week, Action on Smoking & Health (Ash) trumpeted a new study about the influence of tobacco packages as proof that putting all tobacco products in plain packages was now required. Ash's Deborah Arnott told the BBC that: "This research shows that the only way of putting an end to this misleading marketing is to require all tobacco products to be sold in plain packaging." What Arnott did not tell the BBC was that she and Martin Dockrell, Ash's campaign manager, were not only two of the authors of the very study they so fulsomely praised, but Ash, along with the DoH, paid for the study.

Suffer :-)

So you have no comment about my smoker advocacy? Comment on my wonderful eco poetry then hehe

SHUTTLE TO MOTHER-SHIP
There’s a hole in the sky
Letting death rays in
The rain comes down
And burns the skin
Another forest fall
Losing oxygen, hard to breathe
And the fat cat sits
In a tall glass tower
Counting his money
Hour after hour

A black slick on
The ocean boils
Dumping ground for human soils
Raped by drift net, void of life
Another food chain lost
Losing sustenance, hard to feed
And the fat cat sits
In a tall glass tower
Counting his money
Hour after hour

Paranoia spreads over the land
People see others through eyes of fear
Minds poisoned by chemicals
Science baffled by new disease
Humanity buckling at the knees
Trying to breed through rubber sheathes
And the fat cat sits
In a tall glass tower
Counting his money
Hour after hour

The shuttle flew low across the sky
“Shuttle commander to mother-ship
Permission to leave this dying planet
Not even worth the time to burn it.
There only appears to be
One lower life form left at all
A fat cat sits in a large glass bowl
With bulging cheeks, and saucer eyes
Surrounded by piles of useless paper
Hardly worth turning to vapour.”

GENERATIONS PAST

Make love, not war, a rebel yell
Woodstock, it rose and then it fell
The birthplace of a hope for peace
A search for truth that will not cease
But dreams of youth are fleeting things
Were they not puppets pulled by strings

Where are the children of that hour
With their hippie beads and their flower power
Youthful arms stretched out in quite rage
Aimed at those of a different age
Woodstock, was it all a lie, just another name
Is the word generation not to blame

Woodstock, a generation of the past
The future catches up so fast
Establishment, to be mistrusted, a dirty word
But wait, after all these years, it seems absurd
Look around, who pulls the strings? They now reign
Have you felt the peace and love or just more pain

Have you heard the cry of youth today
Listen close, you may hear them say
Woodstock never really went away, just a name
Generation is the thing to blame, it will always be the same
So act your age, put on that tie and collar
Your turn has come to chase the almighty dollar

GOODBYE JOE
You came in a dream
Unraveled as in a fable
Silk, created from a sows ear
True beauty in the beast
In the eye of the beholder
The stuff legends are made of

For dreamers weave fables
Breathe life into legends
Pay the price for the blessing
For legends can’t die

Out on a hill where ghostly
Crowds linger still, laid to waste
In memory of past glory
Forgotton by fickle masses
Trapped in a world of lost embraces
Left to wander, down unknown streets
Where tomorrows legends are found

For dreamers weave fables
Breathe life in to legends
Pay the price for the blessing
For legends can’t die

Row upon row of poppies
Blowing in the wind of adulation
Don’t be fooled by their beauty
Lurking within they are waiting
Fanned by cool breezes, lay hidden diseases
Their heads bent and broken, sweet nectar run dry
Seeds of a new legend reach for the sky

For dreamers weave fables
Breathe life into legends
Pay the price for the blessing
For legends can’t die

You came in a dream
Plucked up in eagles talon, screeching
Turned to bloodcurdling nightmare
Suffocating in a sea of greenbacks
Lay waste in the wake of glorious talent
For the prison of a cold cement palace
Wave the legend goodbye By Joy Faulkner
This poem is dedicated to my favourite rocker. Joe Cocker. Rock on!!!

DREAMTIME WALKABOUT

There’s a gem in the hills of Eden
A cackling call of kookaburra
The passionate sigh in timeless silence
Blinded by the thunderous beauty
Of a simple garden variety sweet pea
Visions of blissful contentment
Down the information highway
In a dreamtime walkabout

Glorious inner beauty abounds
From this wondrous soulful flower
Showering flickering bursts of light
Through technological wizardry
Joy reaches out tran-tasmanly
Tenderly it touches me
Vivid portraits of peace and tranquility
Whispering eloquently sensuality and love
The pounding heart can be heard
Down the information highway
In a dreamtime walkabout

Mechanically connected
Soul-mate to soul-mate
Long searched for sweet perfection
Kindling desire, lighting the fire
Cherished sweetheart, worthy of the wait
Transversing from dream machine
To beauteous reality
Awesome is the word that travels
Down the information highway
In a dreamtime walkabout

CLICKING, CLICKING, CLICKING.
From early in the morning
Till bedtime late at night
I’m clicking, clicking, clicking
It’s doing in my head
I am an internet marketer
Please won’t you join my down-line
I spend my days looking at your
So you can look at mine
To do this I need credits
To get enough takes time
So I sit here in traffic for hours
Clicking, clicking, clicking
May I tell you folks
That some of yours
Are driving me bananas
Trisha of Indiana is tired after 17 years of
Clicking, clicking, clicking
Patrick, take your survey club
And stick it where the sun don’t shine
God, Fruta Vida’s everywhere,
the answer to all our prayers
Well whoop-de-do but I can’t stand you
You lock me up and slow me down
I cannot surf
Blast, I’ve just been passed
By another surfer at ts25
Can’t take much more,
Means less chance to show you mine
Another marble just hit the floor
Must go now and keep
Clicking,clicking, clicking

WELCOME TO THE ERA OF FEAR

No wonder the willow weeps
It hears humanity crying in its sleep
So frightened of dying
So frightened of living
See how they run from the sun
Hear the cry, cover up or you die
Paranoia, welcome to the era of fear

Put out that fag your polluting my air
The booze is gonna get ya, take care
The grim reaper is everywhere
Don’t you think you should lose weight
Christ no, you can’t eat that
Living it seems is in the sunflower seed

So frightened of dying
So frightened of living
See how they run, paranoia
Welcome to the era of fear

See how they run, from everyone
Even lovings a sin
Skin to skin
In the heat of the night
When the time is oh so right
Hear lovers sigh, cover up or you die
Pleasure killer, and the moment is gone
Paranoia, welcome to the era of fear

FOR THE FLICK OF A SWITCH

Weep willow weep
For even as you sleep
Man and his machine
Will steal your river
And you will wake to find
You’re crying in the desert

Damn you man, go to the sun
For your power
Reap the wind
Harness the ocean
But leave me in peace
Let me be

Strange said the swan
I’d this impression
That this lake was mine
Generations have pasted
Now you say I am the last

Damn you man, go to the sun
For your power
Just for the flick of a switch
You will take all this beauty
Turn it into a ditch

The swallow flew up
He yawned, he was bored
He’d seen it all before
The willow has wept
The mountain has slept
The river has rushed to the ocean
For years, shed no tears
The mighty have power
But the mighty they fall
And the meek inherit the earth

CAN YOU HELP ME FRIEND
Out of the shadows of memory
A haunting dream mystifies me
She comes, and disappears repeatedly
She looks down in sorrow
At the flower clutched in her hand
And I cry at her simplicity
As she offers it to me, and pleads
Can you help me friend
This flower appears to have lost its power

The confusion of it wakes me
I don’t understand
But soon enough I drift back to sleep
And find her waiting there for me
An artist vision in full surround
The horizon is fill with artillery fire
The hills behind her run with blood
The field at her feet are strewn with dead
I know it’s a dream, I want to wake
But she stares at me with those soulful eyes
Her hair glows gold in the blazing skies
Her shell like beads tug at her throat
Like a phantom from the past
She looks down in sorrow
At the flower clutched in her hand
And I cry at her simplicity
As she offers it to me, and pleads
Can you help me friend
This flower appears to have lost its power

I curse this dream, as she disappears
Leaving me with unknown fears
I want to laugh, I don’t know why?
I wish she would stay a while
So I could hold her
That’s what I should have told her
Everytime it’s the same
This crazy dream, leaves me cold
Wondering what her message was
And I cry at her simplicity
As she offers me that wilting flower
And once again she says to me
Can you help me friend
This flower appears to have lost its power
By Joy Faulkner

This poem is dedicated to my sister Joan who died in the 60's of a herion overdose. She died clutching in her arms her 9 month old baby daughter.

Conway Who?

CONWAY WHO??

My friends say I’m going crazy
They say come on girl, what have you been smokin
Doesn’t bother me, they think I’m jokin
Set my sights on a New York condo
Nothing to this songwriting thing
But bless my soul, so many words
Blasting round my head, and all I can say is
Hey ditty do wah do wah do

Can you see them rolling in the aisle
Hey girl, are you living in the past
Hey ditty do wah do wah do
Sounds like something sung by Conway Twitty

Can you get there on a wing and a prayer
All it takes is a great one liner
Like a poet with writers block
I sent a letter to my love
Knocked on heavens door, been to paradise
Traveled the road to hell, kisses an angel as well
The words are screaming round and round
And all I can find to say is
Hey ditty do wah do wah do

Can you see them rolling in the aisle
Hey girl, are you living in the past
Hey ditty do wah do wah do
Sounds like something sung by Conway Twitty

The streets of New York are paved with gold
Just get a million records sold
Such a pity. Trying to take the market by storm
Words exploding in my head, so much to be said
Going to kiss my baby goodbye, make a grown man cry
Take you up, bring you down, act the clown
Just when I find the words, pen is poised
Try to get it down, all I can say is
Hey ditty do wah do wah do
Hey ditty do wah do wah do

Silly really :-)

Old Heart, New Song

OLD HEART, NEW SONG

The music man weaves his magic
Blesses the word with soulful sound
How does the wordsmith let him know
The beauty he holds within his hand
I find it very hard to say
The words that well within
You’ve touched a dreamers fantasy
However do I say to thee
You have lit the light I see
You’ve bought to wing the song

I made a friend just yesterday
Who has given me tomorrow
Found the words I had to say
A blend of joy and sorrow
A poets lilt
From it you built, a hope
That takes this aging heart to flight
It soars with joy in sheer delight
I am the word
You are the song
Sing me

Never The Twain

NEVER THE TWAIN

I am a splash on the sea of devotion
You are the star that twinkles so bright
I am the whistle in the wind of emotion
You are the moonbeam that lights up the night
I reach out to touch
Your no greater than I
With sadness I cry
Never the twain shall meet

I am a cloud, the cotton-wool dreamer
You are the light at the end of the tunnel
I am the raindrop in the pool of lifes schemers
You are the roar of a mighty ships funnel
I reach out to touch
Your no greater than I
With sadness I cry
Never the twain shall meet

I am a fan blowing flowers your way
You are a world wonder, here to stay
I am a river of love, no less than thee
You are the mountain lake that feeds me
I reach out to touch
Your no greater than I
With sadness I cry
Never the twain shall meet

OH: Cigar Store Owners

OH: Cigar Store Owners
Support Appeal of Smoking Ban Enforcement Case. McCalla says the IPCPR, an association of some 2,000 small-business owners of retail smoke shops and premium cigar manufacturers and distributors, is not against an individual business owner’s right to ban smoking on their premises. “When government decides to run those businesses by telling the owners they can’t allow smoking there, it steps across the line of freedoms as established by the constitution. If you don’t want to be with smokers, don’t go into an establishment that allows smoking. Period,” he said.

Smokers! Whose business is it anyway?

"Whose business is it who smokes in bars?" asks Joy Faulkner, Libertarianz Spokesman to deregulate tobacco. "I'll tell you," she says, "it's the business of the person who owns the business - the bar-owner. If others wish to patronise that bar - or not - based on that bar-owner's decision, then that is their business; they are free to choose.

Faulkner maintains however that the answer is actually in the smokers' hands, but as usual the smoker will be the ones who comply. "Smokers are their own worst enemy," she says. "They will shrug their shoulder and clutter the doorways of these establishments - and next election will probably even vote for the draconian government that brought in these laws."
That there is a war on right now where many people are dying - and many more could die - while here in New Zealand Nanny State is more concerned with smoking in bars is an irony that doesn't escape Faulkner. "Many of the coalition soldiers fighting to free Iraqis from a dictator will be smokers, but when these smokers return to celebrate their eventual victory they too will no doubt lay down and surrender to the anti-smokers' every demand." In a further irony, Faulkner notes that in this issue of personal freedom, Iraqis actually have more personal freedom than New Zealanders soon will. "Now isn't that something to think about," she says.

The Sky Is Falling,The Sky Is Falling.

The world is full of Chicken Lickens, and I am not talking about KFC. I am an agorophobic and I often wonder why there are'nt more folk like me. I am aware though that this disorder is growing. And with all the fear mongering in the world I can understand it.

Chicken Licken for those that don't know ran about yelling the sky is falling, bit like the boy crying wolf.

Now please I am not a complete idiot, we live in a vast universe on a planet called earth. Like the universe, like the earth, like humanity it is all evolving. It has taken billions of years and many changes, climatic and volcanic.

During those years the earth has wobbled on its axis it rotates closer and further away from other stars in the galaxy and planets in the solar system, it is a natural progression of the planet. These chicken lichens in the world including the anti smoking doomsayers drive their opinions with fear and guilt.

Who is aware of the one most important elements in the atmosphere???? It is carbon we live and breathe it. These nay and doomsayers believe humanity drives the planet. Well bullpucky I say. We humans are but a grain of sand on the beach , a gnat on the bum of a camel.

These doomsayers could do as much damage as us so called polluters. How much of this carbon should be removed from our atmosphere? Nature and the universe the wobbling on earths axis are climate change are a natural phenonom. Speak to geologists, they see the different climate changes in rock, by drilling ice cores from perma frost. Any changes found and the further back these samples go, climate change is evident, with or without humanity.

Should we now imagine that dinosaurs pooped themselves into extinction, ate their way through the earth vegetaion enuf methane and defolage to cause climate change.

Well agorophobic or not I am sure we will go through climate change it is nature and the universe at work, nothing these kneetremblers say or do will stop that.

Get a grip folk, shit happens and the planet will be here and changing for a few more million year we waste huge amount of money on these kneetremblers, anti,smokers, greenies and doomsayers.

Lets get back to being the humanity we once were and filter this money into our pioneering spirit so we can explore the universe and find other planets to populate.

Oh silly me the kneetremblers would say it is impossible and terribly unsafe. Grrrrrrr

Here's a Load of Bollocks For ya

My son has an honours degree in Medisinal Chemistry and his response to the following article was...."What a load of bollocks."

WEll I agree son , most of these studies are a load of bollocks. If you believe the following article you have no brains cells.
................................................................................................................................................................


Damage from passive smoking can be found in the blood vessels of children just 10 years old.
Parents who smoke in the home can cause their child's arteries to show signs of clogging and hardening, dramatically raising their overall life-time risk of heart attack.
A German study which took in almost 400 10-year-olds found those with smoking parents could also have emerging signs of atherosclerosis.

Earlier research has shown a link between second-hand smoke and the condition in adults.
"To show that in healthy 10-year-old kids they've got these increased markers of what we normally associate with a really bad risk of heart attack is alarming," Australian atherosclerosis expert Professor David Celermajer said in reaction to the study.

"This is from being exposed to passive smoke from their parents all their lives.
"These children are not about to drop dead when they're 11 or 12 but it indicates they're a three or four-fold higher risk of heart attack in their 40s or 50s."

Prof Celermajer, of Sydney University and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, says an Australian study conducted in 1996 also found evidence of blood vessel damage in 15-year-olds who were exposed to passive smoke in the home.

He says while research suggested these ill effects could be reversed within two years if the child lived in a smoke-free house, for many the ramifications of parental smoking were life-long.
"I see a lot of people with heart attacks in their 40s and 50s, who have no risk factors at all except having exposure to passive smoke in childhood," Prof Celermajer says.

"So it starts a process that becomes accelerated in that person ... (smoking) casts a long shadow."
A coalition of health and child welfare organisations says the study showed why government needed to speed up smoke-free reforms.

"This is more evidence pointing to the need for all public areas frequented by children including dining areas, playgrounds, public pools, beaches and sports fields, to be made smoke-free by law," says Protecting Children from Tobacco spokesman Stafford Sanders.
"... and for any governments that have not yet made cars carrying children smoke-free to do so quickly."
The study "Environmental tobacco smoke and cardiometabolic risk in young children" is published in the European Heart Journal.

Abuse a Smoker A Day

"Smokers are now the only minority whose minority status is quoted as justification for abuse."-

Joe Jackson

We Are NOT unpersons. We are NOT Vermin.

As most of the folks on these lists know, I've not only done no Obama bashing, but I've jumped on people who have. In these groups we are not Democrat or Republican or even Libertarian.

We are a big mix of people all of whom (except for the lurking Antis) have one thing in common: we feel smokers are being treated unfairly and unjustly and we feel that this has been done on the basis of lies created and promulgated by activist Antismokers and by those who live off the hundreds of millions of dollars in antismoking grant money from the MSA funding and from the NicoGummyPatchyPeople pushing their nicotine therapy products. Aside from our disagreement with Obama's SCHIP tax, the rest of his politics is something we should keep out of these groups if we want people to continue working together, and in particular we should make clear that we do not in any way support the not-so-thinly-veiled racism that we see so much of on the internet in the attacks on his policies.

But today Obama went over the edge. He not only broke a campaign promise, but he lied, lied absolutely without question, on national TV. And the lie he told, if we lie back and accept it without screaming long and loud, relegates us officially to the status of unpersons, of vermin not worth even a thought because we officially simply do not exist as citizens of America.

Below are two postings. I made the first one on several boards early this morning. I am now putting up variations of the second one. If you see a board somewhere discussing his Today show appearance and/or his health care plan, feel free to borrow from or outright paste from the below to get our message out.

We are NOT unpersons. We are NOT vermin. We are Americans and we will NOT tolerate being erased.

This morning's post:

Depending on Bloggers???
If President Obama is depending on bloggers for support I think he may have a problem. We're not nearly as forgiving as Meredith Vieira on the Today show. Think about this:
which is worse? #1 below or #2 below?
1) President Obama said, "The only tax change I've made in the 6 months I've been here is to cut people's taxes."
He said that - despite the clear and recorded fact that he raised cigarette pack taxes by 150% and raised the tax on one of the poorest well-defined minority groups in the country, smokers so poor they roll their own from shreds of tobacco and scraps of paper by OVER TWO THOUSAND PERCENT (from $1/lb to $24/lb). Note: this minority group averages well under $25,000 a year in income... not over $250,000 per year.
or
2) That Meredith Vieira simply let him get away with such a blatantly false statement without even a hint of a challenge?
Bloggers won't let him get off so easily.

This afternoon's post:
I have to admit, I am truly, completely, totally mystified.

Breaking campaign promises is one thing. Even when they are broken blatantly and without apologies.

Lying is something else entirely.

President Obama clearly, without ANY doubt or quibbling whatsoever, blatantly lied to the cameras this morning on the Today show and NO ONE seems to be raising the issue.

Obama said, and I quote exactly as you can see in the original clip:

"The only tax change I've made in the 6 months I've been here is to cut people's taxes."

He said that - despite the clear and recorded fact that he raised cigarette pack taxes by 150% and raised the tax on one of the poorest well-defined minority groups in the country, smokers so poor they roll their own from shreds of tobacco and scraps of paper by OVER TWO THOUSAND PERCENT (from $1/lb to $24/lb). Note: this minority group averages well under $25,000 a year in income... not over $250,000 per year.

He said that, and Meredith didn't even wince, much less even TRY to pretend to be a journalist and ask him about it.

And in all the previous postings on this board today, no one else seems to give it any importance either.

He **LIED** - no waffling, no minor prevarication, no slight mis-slip-of-the-tongue, he LIED just as blatantly as if Bush had said "We've set up no holding facilities for terrorists offshore." and no one seems to be calling him on it.

Can anyone offer an explanation for this???

The Drunken Crocodile

Gian TurciArticle Published: 2009/05/25

Everyone who knows me also knows that I abhor alcohol. I never touched it in my life and probably never will – unless it’s to celebrate the defeat of the Therapeutic State.

The smell of alcohol turns my stomach (literally), and drunken people drive me nuts. Sometimes I even feel a surge of anger when I see a person’s speech and brain become progressively sluggish, embalmed in the stupor of self-induced idiocy.
Those are my emotions – but that is not a moral judgement, it is not a condemnation – and, especially, it is not a call for prohibition, control, regulation, and brainwashing of children and adults. That is because, fortunately, I have principles, thus I am not an “anti.” Indeed, I fight the “antis” with all I have.I submit here that society is getting progressively drunker on contemporary environmentalism and healthism.
The new fanaticism vomits panic, prohibition, regulation, control, surveillance, bureaucracy, state agencies, an idiotic perception of safety, and so on. It stinks with cheap moralism and arrogant contempt for dissent. Junk science and false information aimed at inducing “safe,” “healthy,” and “politically correct” behaviour belch at us noisomely.This drunken system sees dangers and risks everywhere. The real problem, the toxic system itself, cannot recognize the very real danger it represents, boggled as it is with multiplied visions of its paranoid fears. Stupefied bureaucracy and politics are so much under the influence of healthism that they can’t even count to ten, thus the only number they understand is zero. Zero risk. Zero tolerance. Zero smoking.
Zero emissions. Zero drinking. Zero accidents. Zero obesity.For that awful drunkenness I have infinite contempt. I call urgently for its suppression, and yes, that is a moral judgement. In this particular regard, surely and confidently, I advocate every strategy of war. Evil deserves to be strangled. It must be stopped. There is only one circumstance under which I am an anti, which is, when it comes to suppressing and annihilating the anti mentality. For it I have zero tolerance. Why? Because, for those intoxicated people, everything that makes life worthwhile can be happily sacrificed to suffocate and control their targets.
Liberty, economy, free markets, integrity, personal responsibility, politics, logic, truth, justice, employment and fairness are to them like the mindlessly motivated planetary gears in a differential: they have to change constantly to accommodate the drive. In other words, all those social conquests – some earned with blood – can all be redefined to accommodate the healthist crusades. The costs become irrelevant next to the projected and theoretical benefits of their ideology, implemented with “pretzel-logic” economics.Look at this website, for example [stored link]. It represents a gang of non-governmental organizations that are preparing for the suppression of alcohol through regulation.
Everyone reading here should be familiar with the pattern: it is that of the war against tobacco. The alcohol industry is depicted as the bad, sleazy guys eager to make money by killing people. The customers of the industry are its victims. The infectious agent sent out by the corrupting industry is advertisement. It follows that alcohol advertisement on the Internet (and everywhere else) must be suppressed – just as happened with tobacco.
The youth card is, of course, abundantly played. Please name a bigot (or a tyrant) who has not screamed “the children!” …Thank you, I knew you couldn’t think of one.

Finally, the junk science epidemiological stunner cannot be missing: did you know that drinking “causes” HIV?...Remarkably, the will of the “victim” is never, ever in the equation: the consumer has no resolve to refuse/ignore advertisement or to control his own behaviour. His judgement is impaired by his “addiction.” If he weren’t addicted, he would unquestionably agree with state control. Thus he is a totally passive recipient of “evil.” Such a brainless piece of meat needs protection. He may protest now, but he will love us later, when he has accepted Big Brother. The omniscient zealots are ordained (by themselves) to protect him and his children against himself (and the evil industry of the moment), whether he likes it or not.
Necessarily there is only one way to protect the victim from himself and the evil industries: forbid/control advertisement and knock out the fundamental right to information and choice. There are many efforts to control the Internet already [stored link], and many fights against that [stored link].
Tyranny rests on information control and the last venue of tyranny today is public health. Healthism has mounted an epic power grab. It must control the industries to control the people. This is nothing new. The control of private industry by the state through a “social pact” is at the very core of the Mussolinian Fascist economic doctrine.
To achieve a Fascist agenda, it is first of all necessary to redefine rights, and shift them to those of people like me, the teetotaller. That is done by using the nihilistic “right of not.” In the Italy of Mussolini, the “right of not” vastly prevailed over the “right to do,” since this convention allowed the state to interfere infinitely in the lives of its citizens, and thus control them, through “tough laws.”The passion for “tough laws” is quite visible today.
It is a terminology abundantly abused by governments and media. A “tough,” oppressive law was supposed to signal the political will of the Fascist oppressor to be “damn serious,” to “intervene,” with total disdain for citizens’ will and behaviour, and thorough contempt for all the precious values that the state disapproved of.
Today we see an abundance of “rights of not” – i.e., my “right” of NOT being exposed to the behaviour and smelly breath of the drunk, the “right” of NOT inhaling someone else’s smoke, the “right” of children of NOT having smoking or fat parents as role models, and so on.The oppressor feeds on hate and relies on a popular appetite for the same meal. He knows he must make this palatable for the masses. As even a tyrant needs to project a semblance of justification, a farcical performance of credibility is the inevitable side dish, offsetting the main course of vicious victimization.
Hence today’s mass-production of epidemiological junk studies lavishly paid with public funds to the complacent university near you, or "polls" paid by public health institutions that show "overwhelming" popular support for smoking bans. The obvious conflict of interest is to be totally overlooked in times of state propaganda.
Fools who have swallowed this will swallow anything, and the potential for violence of an incited mob, is limitless. Click here [stored link] and here [stored link] for just two examples.Continuous reference to authority and heavy paternalism is another essential element of Fascism. Does that sound familiar to my British friends? The “undisciplined” Italians have experienced that – and that ‘s why they have the reputation of being undisciplined in the first place, although the new generations are forgetful. Most nations never experienced Fascism directly and, for that reason, now tend to fall for the same cheap bedazzling lures: safety (playing on panic), health (an illusion of immortality), and protection (the disguise of subjection).
Now as before, liberty becomes a devalued commodity. Then as today, the trap was “liberty from” rather then “liberty to.”In combating the Fascist mentality, appeasement does not work, arguing is futile, logic does not apply. Civilized, tolerant behaviour is perceived by Fascists as a comical sign of weakness. The “antis” cannot be reasoned with or bargained with. When they concede something it is just to buy time to repress it better later.
Chamberlain did not understand that, but Churchill did, and said, “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile hoping it will eat him last.” Sir Winston understood Fascism as well as he would understand the “antis” today.
Baby crocodiles may be cute and cuddly, and they may even be gentle and lovely. Kill them while you can, or you will become their next meal.Alcohol industry be warned. Defend yourself, or repeat the mistakes of the tobacco industry, and thereby meet your end.

Quote of The Month

"If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life."- Henry David Thoreau

Me too!!

Are You Afraid Yet???

The food nazis are going to medicate your bread with folic acid. Good eh?? Well for me it is because I can now say I warned you years ago when I had my activist group Smokers of the world Unite and in a previous message .
Since the anti-smoking hysteria came in these nazis have insisted on additives in ciggies which can be a risk to the smokers health.
Folic acid in your bread and you cant say no, it may cause prostate cancer in men but never mind it may save 4 kids from spine abifita.

It is how the anti smoking stormtroops work but you dont listen, the majority must suffer for the safety of the few.

So what next you may ask...like I said there will be a knock on your door one day and an employee of nanny state will insist on checking your house for bacteria.

Well I would rather keep smoking with 2 rude fingers in the air than allow this nanny state to live my live, medicate my food and monitor my risk taking.

The majority of the world population get all they deserver because they allow this to happen.
Get off you arse and start screaming before your life is not your own.

The World Is Full Of Hypocrites!!!

There are 2 legal drugs in this world Alcohol and Tobacco. Both of these have health related risks. One also cause many car fatalities, broken marriages, child abuse both physical and mental. Both cause addiction. But one also cause violence in the community, can be the reason for rapes and murder.

One of these legal drugs would only cost $3.60 a pack but for the huge tax take which makes it approximately $13 a pack thats 75% geez and Aussie are saying they are going to put it up to $20 a pack.

Smokers you are not worth fighting for.

I have gotten my crystal ball out although this is already happening in a small way.
An American CARTON of cigs still only costs $12US. Work it out with a pencil folk, the criminal element will be applauding this and are already selling stolen or imported cigs from ships yachts etc and making a killing on them.
Buy a carton of cigs from overseas and sell them pack by pack for the price of the whole carton...WOOT!!
Alcohol, say a carton of beer you can by at a supermarket for $12 bucks it is not taxed at 75% like ciggies. and yet it causes more problems in our courts and families and communities than cigarettes.

There is something wrong here, but its all about money folk and power folk, these puritanical bastards could care less where I die of smoking. But smokers are now about 20% of the population, nearly 75% of the population imbibe a little or a lot of alcohol.

If the powers that be attack alcohol they would lose their power, smokers barhumbug , you have to have someone to hate, you cant hate jews, you cant hate gays, you cant be racist but you can bash a smoker over and over again you can eventaully turn them into a criminal because they have to go to the crims for their smokes, or push them into the closet, that other minorities have struggled out of and thats fine.
I am an old lady I have smoked since I was 9 I have become an agorophobic and a social phobic and am on an invalids benefit. A smoke is my only enjoyment in life. I am this way because I was raped by a drunken gang. I was beaten by a drunken husband, I was seperated from my father and 3 sibling, then abused by a boarder my mother had.
But I am a dirty filthy smoker and I deserve all I got and alcohol is not my prefered legal drug, being on a benefit I will soon have to go look for a crim who will sell me my legal drug cheaper than I can get from the legalized drug pushers.
It all really beats me. This page no longer is here to speak for other smoker it is here for me alone to scream into :-(

Enuf Already With Social Engineering!!

Gummints worldwide spend trillions and trillions of taxpayers money on social engineering.
Enuf pls was this really what goverment where elected for? To live our lives. To control our risks in life?
If we had put a stop to all this crapola decades ago and spent the money on the human instinct to pioneer to go where no man has gone before, warp drive may have been invented by now. The moon may well have already be populated with space stations and we could be populating nw found planets.

Hell sorry what am I talking about, waffling into my webpage again. Its just not safe is it?
We have built a space bubble around each and every person on earth at huge cost.
I offer myself up to be the first pioneer on another plant cos I am dead sick of this one.

Can You Get Lung Cancer From A Toilet Seat?

Robert PraskerArticle Published: 2009/04/15

Tolerance for some, vilification for others, is the policy of "public health authorities."
"You do not get HIV from:* Being bitten by mosquitoes or other bugs* Being bitten by an animal* Eating food handled, prepared, or served by somebody with HIV infection* Sharing toilets, telephones, or clothes* Sharing forks, spoons, knives, or drinking glasses* Touching, hugging, or kissing a person with HIV infection* Attending school, church, shopping malls, or other public places with HIV-infected people."- Surgeon General Antonia Novello, 1992 Surgeon General's Report on AIDS"At the beginning of the AIDS epidemic many Americans had little sympathy for people with AIDS. The feeling was that somehow people from certain groups “deserved” their illness.
Let us put those feelings behind us. We are fighting a disease, not people. Those who are already affected are sick people and need our care as do all sick patients. The country must face this epidemic as a unified society. We must prevent the spread of AIDS while at the same time preserving our humanity and intimacy."-C. Everett Koop, 1986, the first Surgeon General's Report on AIDS"
ASH recently forced a major university to stop an employee, who took smoke breaks outside his smoke free office, from working in the same office with a women whose health -- and the health of her unborn child -- were threatened by his thirdhand smoke, according to testimony from two of her doctors....to avoid being barred, smokers likely have to change clothing, shower and shampoo, and use mouthwash."-John Banzhaf, Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) press release, March 25, 2009It's evident from the quotations above that our attitudes regarding risk and health have gone askew. In 1986 we knew the Surgeon General himself placed a priority on "our humanity and our intimacy". Today, we all know that we can't get AIDS from kissing a person with AIDS, and that we can't get AIDS from sharing a toilet seat. A Surgeon General’s Report endorsed these facts and ideas in 1992. The public remembers, and generally continues to endorse them.Somehow though, ASH would like for us to believe that one needs to change clothing, use mouthwash and do laundry if they go outside for a smoke. This is to protect others from the residual particulate matter on smoker's clothing; a contrivance called "third hand smoke". Meanwhile, while the notion of "third hand smoke" has entered the vernacular, a search of the Surgeon General's website and the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) website regarding "third hand smoke" comes up empty at this writing. (Please feel free to search yourself at the in-text links provided.) This absence of information is troubling given the willingness of health practitioners and policy makers to invoke "third hand smoke" as a justification for instituting healthcare and workplace policies.
Clearly, these policies haven't been adopted in any way by public health. Rather, ASH, an organization that thinks smokers should be arrested for homicide, is lobbying for these policies to be enacted."Third hand smoke" is really a misnomer; the residual smell left on clothing from burnt tobacco is only arguably "third hand" and it most certainly is not "smoke". In fact, “third hand smoke” is a catch-phrase, coined to promote a health scare, designed to destroy “humanity and intimacy.” There has been no epidemiological study to demonstrate that being exposed to residual tobacco smells represents any kind of risk to anyone. Anti-tobacco zealots simply want to instill that belief. They want to make smokers feared and hated. That has been their goal for decades. “Third hand smoke” is the latest tactic in the long-escalating war against smokers.Science and truth have never gotten in the way of the anti-smoking agenda, and ASH hardly conceals their contempt for tobacco users with comments like: ""We've always known that a smoker's breath stinks. Now we know that it also creates indoor air pollution which can harm children and perhaps some adults." One might think that such statements would subject the motives of ASH to a greater level of professional scrutiny. To the contrary, it's obvious that health institutions now act according to the guidance of ASH and other anti-smoking groups. Also, the lack of epidemiological evidence and government guidance hasn't stopped the media or politicians from leaping into action to protect children from a non-existent menace. This alarmist approach to matters of public health has become commonplace, especially when it comes to tobacco. One would hope that government health authorities would step in to set the record straight, or that they'd issue guidance advising health practitioners to regard the claims of special interest groups like ASH with skepticism, at least until credible evidence can be produced. To the contrary, it appears that anti-smoking interests lead government health authorities by the nose. It also appears that the Surgeon General and CDC remain complicitly silent until they feel confident that the anti-smoking interests have been successful in pitching their scare du jour to the public. Former Surgeon General Richard Carmona has already declared that there "is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke". Once the coast is clear, the Surgeon General and the CDC are likely to make similar claims regarding "third hand smoke".Not so long ago, public health took an entirely different approach. When the AIDS outbreak came along in the nineteen eighties, gay men, in particular, were falling prey to a mysterious killer virus that laid waste to the immune system itself. There was no effective treatment and no known cure. The devastating nature of the disease immediately attracted the attention of the sensationalist media. In no time at all, fear, speculation and misinformation spread across the country. Far right religious groups immediately fanned the flames of hysteria by claiming the AIDS virus was a biblical plague with a moral agenda. The infectious nature of the disease seemed to confirm the suspicions of anyone who was ill-at-ease with homosexuality. Last, the prevalence of the disease amongst gay men seemed to be the excuse that every homophobe had been waiting for to justify and exalt their hatred for gays.In 1982, 466* people had died of AIDS with hardly an eye blink from public health, and scientists proposed calling the new disease "Gay Related Immune Deficiency". 1 AIDS deaths more than tripled in 1983, and a June, 1983 Gallup poll revealed that 25% of the population felt that they could contract AIDS via "casual contact with an AIDS sufferer". 2 The CDC hadn't even appointed a group to investigate AIDS until the end of 1983, and when the group reported back in April of 1984, $20 million of additional federal funds had to be requested because 70 percent of those working on AIDS at the CDC had been diverted from other work areas. 3 In 1984, evangelist Jerry Falwell said in a televised interview that he didn't "hate homosexuals", just their "perverted life-style" and "sub-animal behavior". 4
Surgeon General C. Everett Koop did not release a report on AIDS until 1986. Approximately 10,000 people had died from AIDS in that year, and nearly 25,000 people** had died since 1981.Only after Koop's 1986 report did the Surgeon General's office finally respond by providing credible information to the public regarding AIDS. The public was beginning to learn that AIDS is not transmitted by sharing a toilet seat or shaking hands. The reports from public health, if dismally overdue, were necessarily appropriate. They tamped down the flagrantly expressed hatred of homosexuals which early news about AIDS had inspired. The public health message was conceived to that end. An ill-conceived public health stance would have meant social ostracism for homosexuals.That didn't happen. Rather, tolerance was called upon to deal with the crisis. Efforts were made to disabuse the public of misconceptions they had regarding both AIDS and homosexuality. Heterosexuals, of course, were not immune from AIDS, and this fact became very clear when basketball legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson announced he was carrying the HIV virus in 1991.
Questions immediately arose as to whether Johnson should be allowed to continue playing basketball. Johnson did so, and no one contracted AIDS from playing with him. It seems clear that social attitudes of the time regarding homosexuality are what allowed much of the health community to delay while tens of thousands died. Once the media caught hold of the prevalence and nature of AIDS, it was largely up to gay rights groups and the very same media to set the record straight while public health scrambled.The health issue of AIDS and the health issue of tobacco are entirely separate things. It is not my intent or purpose to imply that completely disparate health issues should be held to the same informative criteria. However, there are over 60 million tobacco users in the U.S., and tobacco is a legal product. The U.S. Constitution guarantees all equal protection under the law via the Fourteenth Amendment. Therefore, tobacco users are entitled to government treatment that is as ethical, responsible, and professional as that received by anyone else. Also, informational campaigns regarding tobacco use must treat the perfectly legal behavior with the very same tolerance it affords to any other group whose legal behavior leads to public health's epidemiological scrutiny.
As John Adams said, "We are a government of laws, not of men". Engaging in any kind of private sexual behavior should, of course, be legal under Federal law. Tobacco use, also, is and should be legal under Federal Law.
Any changes in Federal Law going forward are Ex Post Facto, and cannot be held to account regarding the unjust treatment that the Federal Government has already allowed and endorsed regarding tobacco use by allowing Federal public health policy to be influenced by entities that hold tobacco users in contempt. The legality of particular behavior, first and foremost, should afford anyone engaging in any such legal behavior the very same tolerance and protection as any other group, and any further distinctions are irrelevant if they are not matters of law. Under the law, the disparate legal behaviors of citizens should not be subjected to prejudicial scrutiny or preferential protection. To believe otherwise is to remove the blindfold from Lady Justice.HIV is mono-factorial: one must somehow contract the AIDS virus to be diagnosed with AIDS or test positive for HIV. Any cancer including lung cancer, as well as heart disease and other "smoking-related" illnesses are multi-factorial.
Non-smokers, and even non-smokers who haven't reported any significant exposure to any perceived risk factors, sometimes get lung cancer. Since 10 to 15% of lung cancers occur in non-smokers each year in the U.S.A., even public health's statistical voodoo attributing around 3,000 annual non-smoking lung cancer deaths to secondhand smoke fails to account for thousands of people who never touched tobacco in their lives. Meanwhile, the anti-smoking campaign adopted by both anti-smoking interests and public health have swept tens of thousands up in the social stigma they've created in making tobacco use a synonym for lung cancer. Once upon a time, public health worked hard to ensure that there would be no social stigma regarding mono-factorial AIDS, and it didn't matter if you contracted AIDS due to using illegal IV drugs or engaging in multiple sexual liaisons without protection, or if you contracted AIDS via a blood transfusion. AIDS required tolerance, and it wasn't just tolerance regarding homosexuals, it was tolerance regarding the disease of AIDS because human beings all deserve respect.How different would our attitudes about both homosexuals and AIDS be today if Jerry Falwell and his ilk had been given charge of the health agenda regarding AIDS? I doubt that anyone would find comfort in the knowledge that Falwell didn't "hate homosexuals" but thought their behavior to be "perverted" and "sub-animal".One could argue that homosexuality is not a choice– the issue of “nature and nurture” – while smoking is. Granted, but this argument completely misses the point. Illegal drug use, for example, is a choice.
Who amongst us would want someone like Jerry Falwell calling the shots regarding how our current society treats marijuana users? What if a personality like Falwell went about the country influencing the medical and rehabilitative treatment of IV drug users? Would we consider that a responsible and ethical approach to public health?The delusion that those sympathetic to the cause of anti-tobacco seem to operate under is that ethical, knowledgeable, professional public health experts are particularly concerned about tobacco use and, because of that concern, they are approaching the issue with an ever vigilant watchfulness dedicated to consequence, objectivity and reason.
To the contrary, dogmatic zealots are manning the helm when it comes to the public information and perceptions regarding tobacco use. Homosexuality does not "cause" AIDS. Similarly, neither smoking nor exposure to tobacco smoke "causes" lung cancer. In the same way that religious beliefs regarding homosexuality and AIDS can be morally obtuse, so can equally dogmatic, secular notions regarding tobacco use. Jerry Falwell had firmly placed himself within our culture as being anti-gay long before AIDS came around.
Similarly, lawyer John Banzhaf had ensconced himself in the anti-smoking movement decades before anyone had ever dreamed of the notion that secondhand smoke, nevermind "third hand smoke", causes disease. "Third hand smoke" is yet another attempt by Banzhaf and his ilk to see how effective their outrageous claims will be at convincing an alarmingly uninformed and credulous public to persecute people who use tobacco. So, can you get lung cancer from a toilet seat? No. But public health is perfectly willing to abide when equally ridiculous claims are made by anti-smoking groups like ASH. Not only do public health officials fail to put an end to this nonsense, it appears that they are taking a wait-and-see approach to see if anti-tobacco groups will be successful in spreading irrational fears. If the anti-tobacco groups are successful, then public health will emerge from the shadows with a blessing and endorsement for the lies spread by the anti-tobacco evangelists.
Public health doesn't care if you lose your job, lose your spouse, lose your children, or lose your friends. They'll ruin your life before they'll let you have a perfectly legal cigarette. Allowing groups like ASH to run the public health agenda of our country is quite like empowering Jerry Falwell to pave the way regarding national AIDS policy. If that had occurred, your television and radio would tell you to be afraid to embrace or work with people who are gay, and reluctant to share bathrooms with them.
It appears that this is pretty much where public health policy is going regarding tobacco use, and probably obesity as well. Public health seems to have lost sight of the fact that we are all human beings, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity, tolerance, respect and equal treatment under the law. At the very least, even a public health policy that discourages smoking should draw the line at allowing anti-smoking evangelists to spread fear and lies regarding tobacco and its users. Public health needs to be cleansed of the influence of zealous special interests and financially motivated pharmaceutical makers. Permitting the spread of more hatred, lies and irrationality will keep us on the destructive path which public health has followed for decades.

Whatever happened to public health’s concern regarding "our humanity and our intimacy"? Public health's current approach to tobacco policy is not only wrong, it's outrageous, and it should be decried by all, whether they use tobacco or not.____

Hypocrites All!!

If you climb a mountain and fall to your death. The gummit sends out rescue teams, to help in the search at the cost of the tax payer. The climber is made out to be some sort of hero. Hello, climbing mountains is a lifestyle choice and the risks are know to the climber, but we are meant to wail and weep for this person.

You get on a plane, it crashes on take off ,all dead. Sad I know, but you got on that plane knowing the risk, you were prepared to take it. But the airlines are forced to pay huge payments to greiving families. Why? You know the risks. I could go on for ever here. No pls I hear you scream lol.

75% of the cost of a packet of ciggies is tax folk and yet we are told or threatened with the fact if you get really sick we dont deserve to be treated like a non-smoker.

When I was diagnosed finally after many cat scans with depression, agorophobia and social phobia I was told my lungs, my heart were in great condition for a 61yr old?? If I died right now they would blame it on smoking?? EH??
I have been smoking since I was 9 this makes 50 yrs of my preferred lifestyle choice.
I am told every cig is killing me. Well hell I am glad I didnt choose tobacco to commit suicide with:-).
It is my risk, I know the risks even back when I was 9 they were called cancer sticks or coffin nails. But folk its my bloody choice but now I am a leper in society. Its a damned legal product for god sake, it opposition legal product is alcohol, it kills maims has related diseases, that kill cost the taxe payer millions. But hey everyone drinks so they stay very mum about it problems on an individual by individual basis.

Get a grip, give the smoker some slack folk. I often wonder as I sit here in my own solitary confinement , why with all the fear and guilt tactics used by the health stormtroopers and the anti=smokers, that there aint more ppl like me.

The Anti, Anti-Smokers Prayer

THE ANTI, ANTI-SMOKING PRAYER
As I lay me down to sleep, I pray thee Lord that you will keep, The Nico-Nazis wide awake, From noises that their halos make.
I am a smoker Lord you see, An outcast from society, But I don't tell those pious parrots, To cut out fats and eat their carrots!

Oh Lord the virtuous vultures pick, And call my smoke a "Cancer-Stick", Yet I don't look at their Big-Mac, And say "enjoy your Heart-Attack"!
Why does every sanctimonious soul, Preach to me about self-control, Well if they're perfect I'll stand alone, And dare the sin-less to cast the first stone!

I am aware that one day I'll die, I guess You know how when where and why, So if its from smoking my tombstone can say, From ashes to ashes, she loved life her way!

Tina White

AMEN!!!!!!

So How Do They Control? Fear and Quilt.

Are you safe, god I hate that word now. The health Stormtroopers,are wollowing about in your life because you let them.

We wrap our kids in cotton wool, do you let you child climb trees, ride a bike without a crash helmet. Do you worry continually about what you are putting in their lunch box. When you go to a pack and someone lights a cigarette do you move???

We are a world driven by fear and guilt the words "not save" overpowering. Pls folk can you get agrip life is full of risk.
I am now an agorophobic, social phobic. I cannot leave the house. beleive me I want to but the poor depressed brain has taken over. If I leave the house the brain takes over it informs my body to get back home , it does that by causing excruciating pain. The longer I stay out the more the fear produces symptoms, hyperventilation, sweats and I believe I will die with the next step.

I blame the gummint myself.:-)

I Have A Chimney On My Head

I have a pack of ciggies in front of me ......oh dear you stupid, dumb, brainless, old fart. Yeap thats me. On this particular pack there is a pic of a limp cigaerette. It has the usual vague, threat of impotence becide it which states: Smoking may make you impotent. Omg, shock horror probe, no pun intended. This is how the antis suck the brainless and those who believe everything they are told or read as gospel. They also always use the word may. I really aint that stupid of course in the odd case it may cause impotents. But dont quote that bit pls.

I will use 40 year of anti-smoking reteric to plead my case that the cases of impotenece would be no more than the same disease from alcohol. Remeber they used the same tactics to allow prohibition of alcohol many years ago. But I digress.

My uneducated stats show me, and btw damned stats can tell you anything you want. Go back the 40 years we smokers have been driven by fear and guilt and back to impotence. When I was a child the smoking rate was something close to 60% of the population. I come from a faimly of 6. Thank you god for no birth pill, ppl back then had 11 to 15 kids sometimes more. They would end up in back street abortions because they couldnt cope with anymore kids. Here I end my impotence case.
Lets just wander a bit to asthma, again I am sure in some of the cases that it maybe the cause or at least an agitator. But again 40 years have past with the anti-smoking stormtroopers blaming amost every know disease on the demon tobacco. Over these year the rates of asthma have quadrupled so how can you blame smoking for that rate?? It really makes me angry.

Who are the healthiest countries in the world. If you correlate it to smoker per population counties like Japan, Italy, China, are high on the good health list. Now if anyone argues it because of their diet I will scream. If diet is the health damager leave me the smoker alone and attack ppl with bad diets PLS!! lol
The USA, and top anti smoking countries like New Zealand have rapidly gone down hill. Please dont believe me check the health stats. Quick because they realise the stats are not in their favour and the fudge them, grrrrr. Enuf for today I can hear the men in the white coats coming down the drive :-)

"Government efforts to fight cigarette smoking over the past 40 years amount to more than a victory for public health. They are also, as Ted Kings new book makes clear, a cautionary tale of how the state can bully, and ultimately crush, members of a momentarily-unfashionable minority group. Just because you don't smoke doesn't mean you shouldn't be afraid."- Tucker Carlson

My Body, My Life.Bullypucky it belongs to the Gummint!!

Sunday 21st June

Hitler may have died but he is sitting on his grave mound laughing his nazi head off. We think we own our bodys that it is the one thing those who have the power cannot touch . Wake up fools the life you live is long past yours!
All western powers including New Zealand are more dictorial, than the German zealot himself.
We have the Nico nazis, the health Stormtroops, the its not safe platoon etc etc.
Then there is the : you cant smack your kids guilt trippers.

Please give me a break I am 61years old I believe totally able to make my own decisions on lifestyle risk. My main reason for this blog will mainly concern the nico nazis and I am not going to be frightened off because I may offend ...oh yeah I forget the, you cant offend brigade. I had a golliwog as a kid....it was a friggen cuddly toy folk not a political statement. I read Big Ears and noddy.... now they have been burnt. They are said to be gay, sorry gay folk, but it isnt a political statement. I will scream into this page about the nico nazi next probably, but at least be aware or maybe very afriad of these moustach wearing Puritanical lifestyle police because it is marching on.
Let me fantisize for you for a sec. A knock on you door. Standing there is the Newly formed Health Police they have goverment behind them to allow them to enter your house, search your fridge, to make sure you have seperated your cooked from your raw food and that the cooked food is glad wrapped. They will swab you kitcken, door handles,benches and toilet for germs. If you dont pass they will sanitize your house. If you dont accept this you WILL be fined. They will then check your children for cuts and abrasions. If any are found all your children will be taken from you till you can supply reasons and witnesses to the said injuries.

Be afraid, stop the rot. Right back to where they started their intimidation. They allowed gay folk out of the closest, and have since been pushing the smoker into it. Oops not meant to offend just the rambling of a down trodden, closeted smoker.

OMG, television news, shoot them.

OMG, shoot them all for the common good. OMG, what does the common good really mean? Who defines the common good? Common people.

Take swine flu for example. 140 ppl world wide have died and we have a pandemic, jeez wayne! More people die of the regular flu. Don't you think the control freaks have gone a little bonkers. Whose body is it anyway? If I have the flu and want to treat it by old fashioned traditional methods, one of these control freaks could come to my door if I sneezed on them they could force me to go to a hospital. I dont want to go to hospital. This is my body. I want to treat it my way.

This is just a rehearsal. Please don't be alarmed. The men in white coats are arriving soon.
