It's just crazy what good people will believe like obedient sheep, even normal Americans who are against liberals.

I can think of a pair right now, a young couple shocked when I snorted at the fake statistics on second-hand smoke. They were horrified! They really believed (don't know if they do now -- they're older!) all that crap. And as such, it made them anxious, and you know, life is anxious enough without having pretend crap tossed in there to herd sheep.

I asked them ... how is it that there are any Japanese people left on earth???? They smoke like coal plants over there. Um ... good thing no one told the millions of strapping babes born to WWII brides, 'cause a lot of those moms were second-hand smokers.

How in the hell is it that pretty much everyboyd around me when I was a kid, came out pretty much fine after hundreds of hours in smoke-filled movie theaters? Lots of people smoked at the "show." People smoked in restaurants and coffee shops; it was normal. Remember flying non-stop for 8 hours on a transatlantic flight in the '70s? People smoked the whole time. It was annoying and inconsiderate, but hey ... people lived.

Now you have to go into a little glassed-in public exhibition cage like you're an animal in the zoo or something, if you want to choke a weed at LAX! {^ ) It's bizarre! Fifth Element humor.

"Second-hand smoke." Yeah. Sure. There's people who'll buy anything.

I agree, the second hand smoke thing is ridiculous. Like you say, it’s inconsiderate and has been for some time but when I was a kid smoking was accepted by most everyone, even if they didn’t smoke.

In the early fifties the “I Love Lucy” show had Phillip Morris cigs for a sponsor, I believe Lucy and Desi were even in some of the commercials.
