True. Who dreams up these dopey “news” stories? Who cares if he smokes? There are more important concerns.

FDR and Churchill both smoked and drank copious ammounts of alcohol while in office and no one cared.

The point, for me at least, is this. He will dictate what behavior is proper for you and me while ignoring it for himself. Frankly I don't care if he smokes himself to death. That's his choice.

"True. Who dreams up these dopey “news” stories? Who cares if he smokes? There are more important concerns."A friend and I went to breakfast yesterday at a local truck stop, a favorite for the heaping portions truckers generally get, as well as the frrdom to smoke where we damn, well please.

Imagine our surprise (we are both smokers) when we discovered there was no smoking, except in the game room.

A gazillion smokers in America have had their individual liberty and freedom legislatively taken from them and become 'untouchables' by the stroke of a pen.

If zero continues to smoke (God forbid he actually enters the Whit House), where does that leave aforementioned legislation?

The fed demanded it, the states complied (under threat?), and it's no longer a fed problem, lobby your state legislation?

I'm fascinated by the Mobius strip.
