Government Knows Best: Smoking Bans

Despite the absence of evidence to support many claims and actions in the bill as seen here, we have gone forth with the massive control of tobacco.  It is simply a massive assault on your liberties.  Those out there that believe they should force others to live in the manner they wish them to live are not going to agree with anything here because they feel that the world should be re-shaped in their image.   These are often the tyrants that try to use outrageous claims of children dropping dead to support their bigotry.   So to those left wing bigots out there, I have little interest in your hatred and demented desire to dominate.  I am not going to claim that smoking is healthy or good for you.  I will say that the first time we have a child dying of second hand smoke he’ll be all over Oprah & truth.com commercials.

Here is what is going on around the web today about all this:

The FDA is practically threatening people who want to find ways around this. Click here to read The Wall Street Journal Article.  It’s almost childish.  Don’t do it! No! I’ll get you if you do! Mom! tell him to stop!

The Baltimore sun has an article about it. Click here to read.

The Webster Report has a nice sensible article about the issue titled Fear and Loathing of the FDA’s new tobacco regulations Click here to read.

And as the FDA regulates and forces companies to commit suicide in marketing and advertising, the same bill that gave them power also prohibits them from telling that they have been regulated to do what they are doing by the FDA.  Read this Article from Reason Magazine : Covering Their Butts: Why it’s misleading to say the FDA is regulating cigarettes.

Okay, it’s time we threw off the chains of tyranny people.  They will not stop.  Years ago when the assaults on smoking first started we were screaming that they will just use this as a stepping stone as they come for more and more personal liberties.  Unless you have been living under a rock you have seen this.  It was never more apparent than with the passing of the Patriot Act.  It is a snowball effect.  When will we take a stand?
