Trust me these fools get 40 states with bans and they will push for a constitutional amendment to outlaw tobacco all together! They will do it I guarantee ya.harleyrider1989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-34012165863857599392012-02-14T16:11:20.131+00:002012-02-14T16:11:20.131+00:00Dick,the Indians have been rampant alcoholics fore...Dick,the Indians have been rampant alcoholics forever on the reservations. Its pretty common knowledge here in the states. Especially those who live near a reservation. This is just a payoff lawsuit,but who pushed it. We know it wasnt the Indians by themselves.......Looks to RWJF as probable instigator!harleyrider1989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-10750651093420077622012-02-11T16:45:47.726+00:002012-02-11T16:45:47.726+00:00Will it really take a decade of two?

What motivates people to be such illiberal ogres? What gain is there for these people? Surely in a 'bread and circuses" society alcohol would be liquid bread, a vehicle to keep the people acting like sheeple.andy5759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-15789641035713785462012-02-10T17:35:28.848+00:002012-02-10T17:35:28.848+00:00When I read that article this morning, my thoughts...When I read that article this morning, my thoughts were the same as yours, DP. <br /><br />Now they've had such success denormalising tobacco, it was only a matter of time before someone lodged a claim like this. The professional lobbyists will be in there like shit off a stick pushing for "more research", and then we'll start hearing in the MSM about the danger to cheeeeldren of second-hand alcohol, and soon it will be "you don't actually <b>drink alcohol</b> in front of your children, do you? (.. gasp! - how unutterably awful / irresponsible / unhealthy / uncaring / etc etc..)".<br /><br />I'm ok, I'm out of it, but I weep for the UK, I really do. I can just see those bansturbators salivating at the prospect of having the tools to impose misery and abstinence on a whole new swathe of the population.nisakimannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-50507921899793787182012-02-10T16:59:35.287+00:002012-02-10T16:59:35.287+00:00I always try to look on the bright side - I don...I always try to look on the bright side - I don't think there will be mega-funding available because the global finanical system is going to collpse in on itself sometime this year.RooBeeDoonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-28877131783792777442012-02-10T14:53:37.977+00:002012-02-10T14:53:37.977+00:00Fully agree Dick.

They have the road all mapped out for them AND they've got a very important trick up their sleeve now that the original alcohol prohibitionists never had: the chance at eternal megabillion funding. Just like with the antismoking movement, funding will turn the small MADD type operations into multistate megalithic monsters full of professional staffers who'll do anything to keep their jobs going into the future.<br /><br /> :/<br />MJMMichael J.
