I don't get it

If you read the web you will start to notice a trend.

A lack of care about what is going on in the world.

A need to focus on small issues while hiding the head in the sand to ignore big issues.

You will be hard pressed to find people talking about how the president lied to the american people (oh I am sorry he mis-spoke because the information he was given was incorrect)and that thousands of people have died, an entire region has been destabilized and country has been destroyed and America is less safe now then it has been at just about any point in our history.

But you will be able to find site after site of people who seem to think they have the right to make decisions concerning other people.

All women have to breastfeed...never mind the info they post in support of their stance is debateable...*THEY* know what is best for others.

Nobody should be allowed to smoke in public places...but god forbid a law be passed to reform pollution and wood smoke exhaust..both of which are bigger dangers to health then second hand smoke. (for info on the dangers of wood smoke including a comparison to second hand smoke check out http://www.burningissues.org )

Get a clue people....The US is in serious trouble....while you are focusing on the little issues that in most cases are none of your damn business...you are allowing a government to turn this country into a place where your civil liberties no longer exist.

And no the wiretaps, patriot act, library usage, etc etc etc scandals are not just something *terrorist* need to worry about and loyal patriotic americans are safe from....at least that is not true unless you believe the Quakers are terrorist threats to America?

    But...but...but...they have to harangue the smokers because the cost of the illnesses of smokers and those around them is so much more than the war on Iraq. /sarcasm off.

    Did you know that in Iowa the money that was won by suing the big tobacco companies is being used for things other than illnesses affecting smokers or those by 2nd hand smoke? To build things like walk ways and the like. And did you know on those walk ways there are ashtrays? It's bullshit I tell ya, total bullshit.
