Politics & Government - 10 December 2006

The United States is such a race-obsessed country but is unable to have frank discussions about the issue. Why is that? Why is everything in society becoming so "politically correct" so as to leave everything meaningless?

Anyone caught with a certain amount of drugs has to consume all of it on the spot, even if death is caused.

Any murder commited is returned to the killer in the same manner.
--If multiple murders are commited, then the least fatal procedure is administered in order until death is caused.

Now I am fired up about this second hand smoke debate!

Is smoke free the way to go?

I say yes!!

I have heard people try to justify away why smoking should not be banned in public places. All I hear is people trying to compare it to other things that are bad. Yes, there are all kinds of bad things in this world. However, it is mine and others rights not to have to sit in a confined space breathing in what your bad habit is producing!! There is absolutely no good coming out of smoking other than the tobacco companies making millions!! Smoking is not a necessity so why should you be allowed to do it when you are putting my life and the lives of others and our children in jeopardy?

Don't give me lame excuses like "well why don't they ban SUV's then?" If SUV's are as big of a threat to our health as your second hand smoke then I would agree that they should be banned. It doesn't make smoking in public places okay then.
I am glad for the crack down on smoking!
Your Thoughts?

My paper ran an interesting editorial today claiming the GOP, and not the Democrats have a "Southern" problem. It used to be that the Democrats were thought to have a problem because they couldn't win in the South. Now, it looks as if the GOP can ONLY win in the South, and that their fundamentalist, science-rejecting, racist attitudes and policies are costing them votes from coast to coast (except in the South, of course). Do you consider this to be true?

I'm writing to you and let you know how unfair you non-smoking law is.You people want a smoke free world.What about our rights to have a alcohol free and a gambling free world? Some of us would like to go to any ball game,bowling,a company party,fancy Restaurant,gas station,department& food store without seeing and smelling alcohol in the building.I'm also tired of seeing lotto tickets,scratch off,bingo halls and schools having their students selling bake goods,stuff for school function door to door.Kids are at school to learn,writing,math,spelling,history not to sell things to get a prize.Gambling and Alcohol should be outlawed if your going to take our smoking rights away from us those should be stopped as well!!Your only teaching that it's okay to drink,gamble and hussle and smoking is forbidded.You took smoking avertisemants off the TV,magizines,bulltin boards, but you welcome Alcohol avertisement with open arms!!!while it takes millions of peoples lives everyday!!!Just so our Goverment can make a quick buck and the Alcoholics have their right to drink and gamble.We as smokers don't have the right to smoke at all.We work and pay taxes just as well as everyone else does and they get more rights then us.I'm sorry I don't drink.I'd rather be alert then drunk off my *** and kill a person or myself.So many people say that smoking is killing them and it stinks,Well I'm here to tell you that Alcohol is killing me and it stinks and destorys millions of lives.But I guess that's okay,just don't smoke,right? Being hit by a drunk driver,abused(mental & physical),liver transplant,broken homes is all caused by smoking? I think not!!!!! Alcohol is more like it!!!!Banned Alcohol from stores,Ball games,Restaurant,gas station and stop gambling!!!!I vote for a alcohol and gambling free world!!!!!!!!!If you don't plan to give us a alcohol and gambling free world!!Then give us back our rights to smoke!!!!

When people keep saying immigrants do jobs americans won't, i find this hard to believe. I have worked in many jobs that "americans wont want." The illegals i see are working as cleaning crews and doing construction and what not.

My last job was to gut fish for 8 hours a day at a fish market. I am a full-fledged american citizen. I am also a college student, but many of my friends as well as I are doing jobs that "americans wont do."

I can't understand why we started a War in Iraq in the first place. They had no evidence that they had weapons of mass destruction. Why are we going after Iraq, when we know North Keara is building them. North Keara has missiles that can reach the California borders, isn't this something to be worried about? They even lunched test missiles, but yet nothing is done? What are we going to do, wait until they finally have the technology to put a nuke war head on one of the missiles? Why?

If i turn on the TV chances are i can see a Group of Arabs or Muslims Burning our flag and shouting death to america because they are angry, and pretty much ANYTHING we do causes a riot, it could be us in Iraq, or it could be a damned cartoon(which we didnt even draw). but all their shouting and burning of our flag should make us angry. Why cant We riot and Burn Irans Flag and shout Death to the middle east every time they make us angry? why do we always have to sit here and take it

It may be a stupid question but the cops seem to come out at the same time each month and write tickets to every 3rd person who is driving 3 miles over the speed limit. Yes they should be following the law I know. But where are they the rest of the month? Where does the money go?

Why is it that in "victimless crimes" like prostitution and the sale of drugs, both parties are held criminally responsible and liable, wheras in the equally "victimless" crime of violating a price control (such as charging more for rent or paying less then the minimum wage), only the seller faces legal consequences?
