Smok 'em while you've got 'em

So, I am getting all feisty about the smoking laws. Why? Well there is a new study on the topic of 3rd hand smoke. That is right. Because I smoke and y’all know me you are going to get cancer. The basic argument seems to be that by being a smoker, even if I restrict my smoking to my own home and designated smoking areas, I am infringing on the rights of non-smokers. If they sit in a chair I sat in they will get cancer and die. The seeming argument is that everyone has the right to never be exposed to anything potentially harmful. I am so ticked off by people who spout nonsense like “I could go on and on but most of the replies you will get will have to do with the fact of invading a persons privacy and such. But I think when that persons is posing a health risk to another, invade away!!!”
… I wish I could continue with this but I am so irritated I can’t think straight. “Invade away!!!” Why it is that NO ONE who spouts that kind of drivel can understand why I then suggest that we muzzle their shrieking brats because Little Johnny’s yowls are 110 decibels (loud enough to cause hearing damage in less than a minute and a half) I will never understand.

Heck, yeah, I can get behind muzzling little brats!

I suppose if I have the right to never be exposed to all things potentially harmful I should never leave my house. Forget about driving to work!

HAHAH!!! I glanced at the quote at the top of your blog and thought it said "Hillsdale" instead of "hillside."

Yeah that is part of the reason I picked that quote. As much as I bitch about the 'Dale I think the quote rings true in reference to it.
