Re: New smoking ban
Gender can be changed...just ask that transexual paddler that had his birth certificate changed from male to female. I couldn't understand how in the world that could happen. How can you change what sex you were born as? But apparently the State of Hawaii allowed that to happen.
And Alohakine for the third time...there is no constitutional right to smoke!!! So no civil liberties are being abused here.
But you say you're gonna smoke anyway so get arrested and make that attempt to prove your point in a court of law. If you win then hats off to ya and I'll be the first to congratulate and apologize to you.
But the law is the law and right or wrong, if you don't follow it you'll be in another situation you really didn't need to be in. You can be in my face all you want with my vices, but the difference is my vices are legal and not habit forming. I won't get arrested or charged for drinking a cup of Benzine laced coffee. I'll be even so bold as to drink a cup in front of an officer while offering to buy him one too. I'll bet good money he won't arrest me. But try blowing a puff of cigarette smoke in his face while offering him a drag and see if he doesn't write you up riight there.
That's the difference between drinking coffee and smoking a cig. When they make drinking coffee against the law I'll just drink where it is legal. No big deal. My life or ability to function isn't hampered that dramatically as to thwart the law for a vice.
If that's the case for you then you really need to consider yourself addicted to smoking and should seek help. You may not care whether you live to a ripe old age but I'm sure those who love and care about you do. Think about them when you consider your life as a short fuse. You die and you leave your loved ones in misery and they would be saying it was a needless death if he only quit earlier.
Life is short so have fun, is a great way to live for now, but life goes on long after you're gone, not your's but the lives of those who did care about you and have to go on living with that memory of you and how they could've saved your life but didn't try hard enough to persuade you to quit.
You can think of this law as an attempt to help those who can't help themselves...or a hinderance. Either way it's the law. You have the freedom to speak out against it but not the freedom to disobey it. It's your choice.
