I just wanted to throw this out to you all really quick.  I am not THAT well educated on the subject, and I intend to learn, but this is something that all Americans should be aware of.

Is it fair to be told what to do with your body?  We all know what is good for us and what is bad for us.  Granted, when tobacco was first discovered to be smoked, they didn't know how harmful it was to the human body.  Now-a-days, we do, but should that stop us from having access to a variety of cigarettes?

Remember when the 18th Amendment prohibited Alcohol?  If you said yes, then you are pretty old!  Anyways, what happened almost 15 years after that Amendment was ratified?  The 21st Amendment made Alcohol OK again.

It may not seem like a big deal to you, especially if you are non-smoker, but every little piece of the freedom of choice that is taken away from you is just a baby step for the next choice to be eliminated.  I have never smoked once and would always advise someone to not smoke, but if that's what they're going to do, then I'm not going to stop them.  It is their right in a free world to do what they choose to their body, and if they want to taste cherry while they are at it, at least give them that satisfaction.

And don't even think this isn't a step towards this "Nationalized Health Care" that is in the works.  Obama has become one of the biggest Fear-Mongers known to human history.  Everything he has asked Congress to do that I can recal, i.e. credit card recovery, stimulus bills, and nationalized health care of course.  The whole "If we don't do it now, the world is going to end" theory is getting old, and I still can't believe that he's still trying to use it.

If I need a surgery some day, but I have to wait in line because a single mother with 4 kids on welfare is in front of me, trust me, that'll be a big day in American History.

And always remember, honest and hard-working citizens, it is going to be your tax money that pays for those below you to be taken care of before you are taken care of.

I say if we want to go down this path, we Roll Hard.  Screw these baby steps.  Let's just make Water the only thing OK to drink, and food grown from the earth the only thing OK to eat.

I just read over this and realized I'm still not in a stable mind set, haha.  Oh well, gotta start somewhere!
