Smokers: our protest could be this. what do you think about it? |
3.28.07: the traffic commissioner of new delhi (which has 14,000,000 people--yes, 14 MILLION), qamar ahmed, has issued the new smoke nazi law: if you are caught smoking a cigarette when you are driving your car, you shall be pulled over by the indian coppers who will issue you a ticket in the amount of $32.00!!! his reasoning is that 'the human brain cannot do two things at once.' well, what about multi tasking in america? the streets of new delhi are already overcrowded with rickshaws, bicycles, cows, beggars, and overturned trucks. therefore, should our own traffic commissioners of our cities issue such ridiculous edicts (what accident was ever attributed to smoking a cigarette when you drive?), this is what we should do to protest it. (even non smokers should do it because they should protest ever increasing TAXATION): READ ON... I read the entire question, including additions, which I always wait for, prior to answering. I also read most of the answers before I answered it. Even though I do not smoke, this question makes a lot of sense. There is way too much government intervention of EVERYTHING we do! Now that it has been discovered that no two irises in the eyes are exactly alike, maybe the politicians will decide to vote yet another tax into law to pay for cameras installed everywhere to catch these BAD PEOPLE--who pay for cigarettes, and who pay the highest sin taxes for their right to do so, in order that they can get more money out of them by issuing them traffic violation tickets! Can you imagine how many more people will cram into the already overworked judge's court rooms, now, to protest these tickets, because it is their RIGHT to smoke? I read in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago that two murderers in prison took a guard hostage because all they wanted were some cigarettes. It's pretty silly to make prisons non-smoking buildings only because they are owned by some city that has no-smoking laws on public grounds. If it will lead to violence, let them smoke. Although soldiers in training are not allowed to smoke on government property, once they go into service, they can smoke virtually anywhere they want to. Will you neglect and ignore them when they come home because they smoke??? But, some of you that answered already seem so angry that YOU may in turn go crazy from your anger at smokers. If you do, and you assault one, you will be put into jail, where you will smell cigarette smoke because it's stupid to have prison unrest because prisoners are being forced not to have cigarettes. Yes, I think Louiegirl_Chicago is right: this is an issue that too much time is being wasted on. Rather, we should spend some time writing letters to our congresspeople urging peace talks in the Middle East so that we are not attacked again by fundamentalist Islamics, by suicide bombers. I also think that too many non-smokers spend too much time pointing fingers of blame on others, not only about smoking, but about all their misery and suffering. I think that you should look deeply into yourself to determine what role you yourself play in any situation that makes you unhappy. If part of it is your own fault, put the blame onto yourself and take responsibility for it. If you make a smoker angry because you will not ask him politely to move away from you, then blame yourself for his blowing smoke into your face, making you choke. Anyways, I am getting increasingly annoyed at more and more governmental intervention and control, as well as taxes, taxes, and more taxes. It is like what happens in the movie called Minority Report with Tom Cruise--the government "prethinks" crime, and businesses know you and what you will buy from them by having tracked you already by your eyes. Source(s): Concerned citizen for the liberties afforded by the framers of the Constitution of the United States of America, who smoked tobacco all the time. (Oh! Yes, the senators and representatives in my state do have ashtrays on their desks for their sessions)! What if they burn their balls while driving? They'll be saved by the new law! Hahaha the government will continue to ban smoking while they turn their heads when the tobacco company put more chemicals in them to keep us more addicted to them! I would protest too Since tobacco smoking in all of its' forms causes ill health and is a major contributor to the health care crisis in the US and abroad it should be banned entirely from the planet. Let the farmers grow cotton and soybeans or corn instead. it would be just one more freedom taken away by the "do as I say liberals" they will not stop until the people make them stop. et to Christen |
