That is scary, scary stuff.

Link Man (Dave),
Sounds like a strip club. I'll bet the police had no problem getting three officers to go there. Probably half the force volunteered.

quote:

Three undercover police officers accompanied a health department inspector to Platinum Showgirls about 9 p.m. Thursday, and they saw at least seven people smoking on the main floor, Mr. Ruffell said.

Undercover police for possible smoking violations. My God.

Yep-it was a strip club. A fine health-oriented place.

Here is another instance of a pleasure depriving ban to be.

Now that they have banned smoking in public places in Illinois,to justify their jobs the Amer. Lung Assoc is going to push for a statewide ban on leaf(yard waste)burning.

Seems that some people do not like this burning and feel that they have 'the right' to breathe nonpoluted air.

These are my thoughts on the matter.

Only 'MORONS' would believe that a species that has survived for tens of thousands of years by heating and cooking by burning all manner of material is being harmed or killed off by tobacco smoke or burning yard waste.

Perhaps we should insist that church candles and incense are outlawed. After all,churches are public places.

Perhaps we should insist that the use of combines to harvest crops be banned. These machines produce great clouds of dust and particulate matter that drift into town and across public roads.

The list could go on and on.

The desire to breathe air that does not contain one substance or another is a value judgment.

The Declaration of Independence: A Transcription


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

What I find ironic is that the 9-11-01 terrorist attacks in NY on the Twin Towers, as well as the California wilfires earlier this year, probably produced more smoke in an area the size of a city block than what every single smoker on the planet could put out in a lifetime, yet tobacco smoke is "deadly" and the air was labeled "safe" in those two disasters. Tell that to the rescue personnel in NY who are now sick............
