Smoking ban is another blow to our freedom to make our own choices

Posted on Sun, Dec 27, 2009 : 8:22 p.m.

Hail, all hail, to the State. The State has banned smoking. Don’t you feel safer? The State has banned cancer. Don’t you feel healthier? You no longer live in a country where people choose their own fate. The State will choose it for you.

If you’re a business owner, you can’t decide whether to allow, or not allow, smoking inside your business. Or whether to have smoking and non-smoking sections. The State has decided that for you. All power to the State! You are not allowed to get cancer. So don’t fear it. It’s been banned. You are not allowed to get it. All power to the State. Granholm, has signed it (the smoking ban). The fascist government has passed it.

It’s the law. So don’t mess with it. Just smoke in your bathroom. But be sure you put it out before exiting, or the person in the other room might die. Or he might not. The State will decide. Don’t worry about it. It’s not worth it anyway, is it? Slavery, I mean. Wake up, enslaved ones. The New Hampshire state motto is: “Live free or die.” Not cancer-free, or smoke-free. Just free. Have you forgotten that? Of course you have. You will regret it. Dan R. Eller Ypsilanti
