If today they come for the smoker, tomorrow they will come for you. If today they grab your cigarette, tomorrow they will seize your junk food, your carbohydrates, your yummy but "empty" calories. And don't think that your liquor is safe either; neo-Prohibitionism has been long on the march, what with "sin taxes" (revealing term, isn't it?), outlawing of advertising, higher drinking ages, and the neo-Puritan harpies of MADD. Are you ready for the Left Nutritional Kingdom, with everyone forced to confine his food to yogurt and tofu and bean sprouts? Are you ready to be confined in a cage, to make sure that your diet is perfect, and that you get the prescribed Compulsory Exercise? All to be governed by a Hillary Clinton National Health Board?
Fuck all of this tax talk shit, there are too many taxes as it is. Why on earth should a corporation that made it’s money giving people what they OBVIOUSLY wanted, be punished because that product is now deemed by society at large to be unhealthy? I eat junk foods and there isn’t a damn thing wrong with me. Why should I have to suffer with higher prices, or lack of junk foods entirely because Joe Bob doesn’t have enough self control to step away from the buffet bar? Because you *anyone in general* don’t like it? Fuck that. Do I think obese people are nasty? Damn skippy. Do I think they need their jaws wired shut? Double damn skippy. Do I really give to shitsnafuck if they die from it? Hmmmm is it going to cost me anything out of my pocket? …. No? then fuck no.
Smoke em if you got em, eat it if you want it, and when the moral police come around knocking on your door to make sure you are practicing normal sex, IE: No one is suspended above the bed, you don’t have more than 5 battery operated devices in the bedroom, and you don’t consider the refrigerator to be a special kinky place for Friday nights, be sure to bash their fucking heads in with that bible they like to toss up in your face, or perhaps a nice shiny piece of exercise equipment, whichever you prefer, just please be creative, since that is about the only thing they aren’t trying to steal from us yet. Remember, when it comes to murder you are really only in trouble for the 1st one, so make a list, hell make a LONG list, wait for just the right moment and when your giveafuck is completely wore out, let ‘er rip and swing away.

EDIT: This is NOT an attempt to derail MD's point, her opinion is her's and yes to an extent I do share it, but I do NOT support in any way whatsoever the whole "external intervention" thing. I was really mostly pissed when people started bringing up smokers. But then the "external intervention" shit creeped in and I just cant stand that.

Question authority, BEFORE it questions you.
