Ya know.. I have been thinking about this universal health care stuff.. and not only will they tax smokers to death to fund it, but its a perfect way to say "Sorry you cant smoke anymore, your costing the state too much money by smoking"

Once the govt controls your heath care, they pretty much control your life. They can justify it by saying "sorry thats too risky, you will cost the universal healthcare fund too much if you smoke/drink/ride a motorcycle/own a gun.. whatever they feel like.

If that day ever comes, we may as well just shoot ourselves and be done with it.  Then will be they get the money!
