Smoking? Check. What’s next?
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Now that the St. Louis County voters in their infinite wisdom have approved the smoking ban by a 2:1 margin, what can possibly come next? Since drunk drivers kill innocent people, perhaps we can focus on a ban against drinking of all alcoholic beverages except when in one’s own home. Another possibility is that the American public suffers from obesity and we could ban fast food to turn that problem around.

I’m hoping they outlaw right wing wackos.
Did that jewel Juanita consult with the apologist-in-chief Marlboro “Man” about this subject? He’s otherwise known as the Audacity of Hype.
Hairball–
And what EXACTLY did Obama have to do with majority of voters in St. Louis County, voting their concience ?
This one you GOTTA explain to me …..
juanita4748 - That’s just the point: control freaks want - ultimately - to eliminate certain people. They start by controlling your conduct, then piling you on a freight train.
I’m sure I hate most everything you stand for. So long as you keep out of my pockets and don’t otherwise have some sort of club over my conduct, no problem-o; go on with your biz. But you propose to outlaw those that want to own our own lives.
Things we need to eliminate next:
- drivers who do not go the speed limit in the left lane
- Marc Bulger
- Bob and Tom in the morning
- ESPN
- Twitter, social networks and BLOGS!
Mr. Gerding, it’s called `democracy.’ Either you’re for it or you’re against it. Which is it?
How about a breathalizer and DNA analyzer in every car?

See a doctor …. QUICK
HKCHAS…..”Hairball,” perfect.
The next thing these liberals will want to do is control womens bodies and tell them who they can marry. Bunch of intrusive government worshipers.
Me thinks you might be “right” (for the first time in a long time). Our fearless clunker probably was more concerned in the Out House working on his speel that resulted in the shout-outs and prattle prior to even addressing without any authentic feeling at yesterday’s news conference the loss of our troops at Fort Hood. After all, Hasan boasts the same heritage obsessed with meeting up with those 60-plus virgins.
