Again,it's the government I'm afraid of,that's it.

Well, ma'am, if your fear of government really does extend to a willingness to sacrifice kids to evil parents rather than let the cops intervene, then you've got some real and serious problems.

Otherwise, you're just talking through your hat.

...I once worked in a place that had a break room for non smokers and a seperate one for smokers. I used the smoking room but would sometimes go into the non smoking one to talk to someone. The smoking room had yellow ceilings and walls, the non smoking rooms walls and ceiling were very white..... Reason: The non smoking room was painted white and the smoking room was painted yellow. My point is that almost any conclusion may be drawn by a "concluder" to conform to the results that said "concluder" wants.
...I don't say that second hand smoke is harmless and neither do I conclude that it's anywhere near as bad as others say it is.
... When my youngest daughter's daughter was born about 8 years ago in another state I agreed with my daughter that I would not smoke in my house when she came to visit. It seemed a reasonable compromise to me to simply go outside to smoke while she visited. When she got here the first thing she did was to come close to me and smell my shirt front before handing me the baby. I told her that I was willing to go along with her up to a point but if she wanted me to be a grampa to my grand daughter she had to quit being so stupid about smoking and that I would not allow her to give me any more sniff tests and I refuse to shower and change clothes each time I wanted to hold the baby. I was already totally in love with my sweet grand daughter at that point and was so relieved that she agreed with me and so far hasn't attempted a sniff test on me again.
