Crapman is a<br />pathological liar, a long-time propagandist for the cause.<br /><br />More recently, Chapman has been involved in getting outdoor bans<br />implemented.<br /><br />Chapman’s University of Sydney has banned smoking on campus, save four designated smoking areas that are close to the perimeter of the university anyway.<br /><br />In this article, Chapman reiterates his position that he does not support<br />outdoor bans except in al-fresco dining areas. He claims he does not support bans that effectively stamp out smoking on an entire university campus; these bans at U of Sydney have “nothing to do with me”. Although he does not agree with such bans, he does not question the mental state of those proposing/instituting such bans, i.e., bigotry. He spends most of the article reinforcing Tobacco Control propaganda, e.g., “no safe level”. And, of course, Chapman has to indulge in his incoherent analogies:<br /><i>“Someone smoking next to me while I eat lunch outdoors is not going<br />to really harm me, but the imposition is unpleasant in the same way as loud<br />music away from music venues or dog faeces underfoot.”</i><br />http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/politics/why-even-wowsers-argue-about-smoke-bans-20120222-1to4x.html#ixzz1nD5K0cJ3<br /><br />Now here’s the thing. While Chapman claims he does not support<br />university-wide bans in particular, he is, again, lying. This is an [Australian] advocacy manual for instituting smoking bans at universities, beginning with a few [inconvenient] designated smoking areas, eventually followed by a complete smoking ban on the entire campus. Lo and behold, there’s Chapman’s signature to the plan (p.2).<br /><b>Guide For A Tobacco Free Campus</b><br />http://www.ashaust.org.au/pdfs/TFcampusGuideAus09.pdf<br /><br />From the same “Guide”, you’ll also notice that he is a board member of the<br />antismoking activist group ASH. ASH was also behind the recent, despicable “Lavac Incident” of which Chapman surely must have been aware:<br />http://velvetgloveironfist.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/peter-lavac-whole-story.html<br />http://velvetgloveironfist.blogspot.com.au/2011/12/march-of-morons.htmlWhat the....noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-52098973193061188052013-05-27T15:17:24.631+01:002013-05-27T15:17:24.631+01:00Always “good” to hear from the Oracle of…. well, i...Always “good” to hear from the Oracle of…. well, in his own<br />words…..
