Santa Clara County is 60 miles south of San Francisco and commonly known as Silicon Valley. It is headquarters to much of what everyone does on the internet and with their computer, including Yahoo, Google, eBay, Adobe, others. Just remember, every time you use Yahoo, Google or eBay, you are putting money and jobs back into a community where happy-meals outdoor smoking and similar intrusions against liberty have been normalized - and you are profiting companies who campaign these same measures on their own corporate workplaces - with the result being that the only people able to work in these businesses must be like-minded anti-smoking health-fascist intolerant hateful bigots. Remember that next time you use Google or Yahoo in particular, view on of their paid advertisements or press one of their links - you are in fact sending a small penny donation to those who will and already do suppress smoking, eating, drinking, fun, comaraderie, free speech, free thought, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-50276876609153671052010-11-05T20:02:43.883+00:002010-11-05T20:02:43.883+00:00I have wondered why America, Britain and Ireland h...I have wondered why America, Britain and Ireland have these horrendous smoking bans.

Chapter 3 is the most interesting.<br /><br />7 traits of right wing authoritarian followers:<br />Illogical thinking, highly compartmentalized minds, <br />double standards, hypocrisy, blindness to themselves, profound ethnocentrism, dogmatism.<br /><br />JuliaM: "And yet, people are still run down by cars. Didn't that ever occur to any of these idiots?"<br /><br />Nope, due to the above list of mental faults and especially because of compartmentalized thinking. These people can hold two conflicting ideas at the same time, like a computer file in their heads that is never matched to other computer files to check for consistency. The PTB rely on this faulty thinking.<br /><br />Milgram's obedience to authority experiments and Phil Zimbardo's studies are interesting as well.Snakeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-27539653482839924992010-11-05T07:23:06.036+00:002010-11-05T07:23:06.036+00:00"That's bad enough, but the truly scary b...<i>"That's bad enough, but the truly scary bit is there are plenty who actually believe it is a good idea."</i><br /><br />Yup.

While the rest of the na...I live in San Francisco. While the rest of the nation voted to decrease socialist-authoritarianism, runaway tax and spending to increase government bureaucracies and control and generally begin dismantling the nanny state mechanism before it grows any stronger - San Franciscans turned out in massive numbers with 75% to 85% majority voting to further implement in San Francisco and California at large, more socialist-authoritarianism, more nanny-state micromanaging and fear mongering and more tax and spending for fake-charities and frivolous special interest causes, in direct contrast to the rest of the nation.<br /><br />Please, nobody travel to San Francisco. Except for the fake tourist traps down by the wharf and a few other over-rated attractions, all you're apt to find in San Francisco is the most outrageous bans and restrictions in the world, something flattering to Stalin's pride and to the people who enact these rules, either by edict, such as the fast-food happy meals ban - or by vote, when enough public brainwashing has been established.<br /><br />Here's the rule. If you can't walk down the street and smoke a cigarette without tripping over no-smoking signs in front of nearly every shop, cafe and pub - if they post illegal smoking warning signs on huge metal signs promising $500 fines if caught smoking outdoors, where the bans have since been extended to include everything but the yellow line running down the center of the street - then the rule is - do not visit that city - do not spend money there - do not finance and encourage the cancer of nanny-state socialism by spending one red cent in that city or with any business associated or located with-in that city.<br /><br />That's the rule of thumb I tend to follow and San Francisco, I would not waste my money. Why support health fascist dictators, the likes of Stanton Glantz, who has a direct daily contact with City Hall, the mayor and the board.<br /><br />As for Prague, my grandfather was born in Prague, emigrated to America in the late 1800's, lived 100.5 years and died of natural causes due to old age in his own home, having happily smoked and drank since about age 14 onward.<br /><br />If he were alive now, he'd be happy to see that Prague is probably once again enjoying freedoms, such as right to smoke a cigarette or have a drink without government interference, now that the communists have all left from behind the iron-curtain and landed squarely in San Francisco and the entire western coast of the US.<br /><br />But honestly, I don't suggest anyone actually go traveling there, to spend money there, just to prop such a hateful hate-monger healthist/fascist overlords, of the type in San Francisco who would deny a child a damn hamburger and a happy toy to brighten up their day.<br /><br />How dour and mean can these people like Glantz and the others get - and the general population, 75% to 85%, like the Guardinista classes over in UK - seem to agree and support all these draconian measures.<br /><br />If you're thinking of traveling to San Francisco, you might want to "just say no" - and head over to the former soviet colonies instead, where apparently they are enjoying freedom, but not in the western states of the US - I guarantee you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-50804771057927890512010-11-04T20:36:53.246+00:002010-11-04T20:36:53.246+00:00Prague, eh?

I lived in the nearby Benešov-u-Prahý for a stint in 2003-4.<br /><br />If you manage to bag yourself a little excursion down to Moravia at any stage (or indeed future visits to the Czech Republic), my favouritist pub in the world - the strangely named "Bermuda Pajzl" - is in a little city called Znojmo. Hostan (45p a pint) is brewed in Znojmo and is the only beer you can have 14 pints of with no hangover the next day. Plus the Czechs like their "beer days" (celebrations of local booze) and if you turn up late enough in the day, you can get yourself some freebies from the floats.<br /><br />Enjoy your trip!Corrugated Soundbitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305817712647242394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-62784418890998001132010-11-04T20:34:59.634+00:002010-11-04T20:34:59.634+00:00Pat, cheapest is P&O Ferries, Hull to Zeebrugg...Pat, cheapest is P&O Ferries, Hull to Zeebrugge.
