I love these self-rightous children of libs. The irony is
they're probably "pro-choice" and don't consider their
own parents to be their personal role models.

Let's see now . . . life expectancy of male homosexual WITH AIDS = 39 years. Life expectancy of male homosexual WITHOUT AIDS = 41 years. OK, now . . . life expectancey of male smoker (or probably any smoker) = 70+ years. Now, golly! Which life style is the most dangerous to one's health, smoking? or being a male homosexual (with or without AIDS)? Golly, I think the smoking and health Nazis are targeting the wrong group with their harassment.

Shouldn't we be more concerned about the disastrous, alarmingly shortened lifestyle of the male homosexuals rather than people who smoke? What am I missing? [the preceding was all rhetorical, of course].

Dave Ettesvold, a chemical health specialist in the North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale school district, said what these girls are doing is important. Part of the reason today the St. Paul School Board announced a deficit.

I don't see what's so wrong with banning smoking in public places. We ban public drunkenness, don't we? Anyway, cigarettes are a gateway drug that lead to marijuana abuse and eventually to consumption and sale to children of kilos of freebase crack cocaine.
