When Richard Reed (The Shoe Bomber) was stopped from blowing up an airplane, he bit the stewardess who'd leaped on him.<BR/> <BR/>Afterwards, the courageous stewardess exited the back of an emergency vehicle at a hospital and news cams zoomed in on her bravely joking with medical personnel on the tarmac... until she made the fatal mistake of reaching in her purse to pull out a smoke. <BR/> <BR/>After that, virtually EVERY major US Network except MSNBC edited the 45 seconds of video coverage of this heroine to a 10 or 15 second snippet. Saving a few hundred lives evidently doesn't mean much compared to the crime of smoking.<BR/> <BR/>And just last week the University of Winnipeg confronted the crisis over students possibly getting mugged, raped, and killed while going off-campus to smoke because of their ban. The crisis raised however was the threat to the lives of campus security officers who might be near those deadly smoking students while warding off gun-toting muggers and drug-dealers.<BR/> <BR/>Smoking bans are built upon lies and fueled by insanity. The inmates have rushed out of the asylum and are dancing wildly in the daisy fields, and their media money has convinced far too many of us to dance with them.<BR/> <BR/>Michael J.

"Oh good, she's ali--WHAT THE HELL? SHE'S SMOKING!"<BR/><BR/>Indeed, this whole war has been a nonstop parade of misplaced priorities.Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11453970234339082687noreply@blogger.com
