The so-called education money derived from tobacco taxes gets spent
primarily on bilboards and tv ads, Which I am in favor of since I work in the industry that gets the most benefit from those funds. As far as health care goes, how many people do you know that have gone to a doctor to try to quit smoking? Basically by the time smokers admit they need to give it up it's too late. The damage is done. |

The thing that really surprises me is that you could like either party. They both have plenty of scumbags and I know you're smart enough to know that. So what is it that causes you to like democrat scumbags and hate republican scumbag? We have a democrat here being investigated on some charges that could put him in deep ****. If he's found guilty, which may have already happened, I haven't heard, I hope he spends a lot of time in the handlebar hotel in Waupun. the GWeeBs old man most tells why I detest the republicans, throwing bags full of money at the corporations that had managed themselves into bankruptcy, but having an impossible time finding money for health and education. Or for anything else that didn't push the profits up by taking things away from those that needed it the most. While toxic tommy was our grovelmore, he started to try to privatize the education system, and unfortunately got a small part pushed through. Once the major corporations have even their little toe in that door, we can forget it, education will be replaced by their propaganda at the expense of everything else. When the new high school was built here in town, and this town is so conservative they weigh their **** after taking one, there was almost unlimited funding for computers, but most of the people balked at keeping the machine shop. (It's the last machine shop in a public school in the county.) Better minds finally convinced them that it wouldn't hurt anything to keep it. The local business doesn't need people that can think, they need drones to punch keyboards all day. Guess who sits on most of the local boards? Most of the old industrial buildings in town have been torn down, the land being sold to developers for the princely sum of a whole ****ing buck. Most of the businesses that those older buildings housed have ceased to exist, along with maybe a couple of hundred jobs. Good economic sense, isn't it? What used to be a publically owned hospital and clinic has been handed over to Aurora health (we don't) care. Which might explain why I carry a piece of paper with me that states I am not to be taken to the local hospital under any circumstances. The downtown area is almost dead, nothing but antique shops and second hand stores, but the local politicians go out of their way and suck ass to get walmart to build a superstore, which will go belly up after they've put all the legitimate stores in town out of business. Walmart being the nations number one violator of labor law in the country, good company they keep. Smart people, these conservative republiscams. Not enough brain to pour **** out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel. |

"Ljwebb11" wrote in message ... Well SVL, it is a good thing you are not under the illusion you are Gunner.G Agreed.......G You have combined words that don't belong together. The word ethical shall not be used in conjunction with political policy or taxes. I believe that if so-called sin taxes are imposed, and they shouldn't be, the money should NOT go into the general fund. It should be used for the reason they claimed they needed the money in the first place. A good example is the 25 cent per pack tax on cigs that was passed over ten years ago. All that money was to be spent on education and healthcare issues involving smoking. Well, a couple years later, some people decide the mountain lions need protection. They get a proposition on the ballot and it was passed by voters. It means that mountain lions are protected from hunting and land is being purchased to give them a place to live. Part of the money being used to buy the land is coming from the 25 cent cig tax. It was right there in the fine print of the proposition. What the hell do mountain lions have to do with smoking? These so-called sin taxes are simply cash cows for the big spenders. Just like the state of Rhode Island suing everybody who sold lead-based paint in the state. Absolute bullcrap. We have a big problem with voters approving these "feel good" propositions. The money collected by these taxes is soon diverted to other uses. And the people who voted for it could care less about it. They already did their "feel good" duty. Agreed...... -- Cheers, SVL |

Name me ONE state legislature with the guts to impeach and throw out of office a governer that remains popular with the citizenry, you can't, they don't exist.

How about a sitting President? Clinton maintained high approval numbers while in the middle of an impeachment. There was no clear, public mandate for his removal. Maybe I wasn't clear enough the first time: an impeachment is a mechanism that allows the legislature to remove an unfit leader from office without public approval. Don't forget, when the Founding Fathers set up our government, there was no instant communications and if the President commited a 'high crime or misdemeanor', there had to be away to quickly remove him from office. A recall would have been impossible. A recall is a public 'vote of no confidence' - the people have decided that their elected representative is not acting in their best interest. I'm well aware, but thanks for the little civics lesson. You're welcome. You needed it. Again, you did not throw out Mecham. His fellow politicians did. Only a few hundred thousands raised a loud and unignorable (?) voice. The number was 391,000. Depending on whose voter numbers you believe, that translates to about 25 percent of the number of Arizona citizens who voted in the 1986 gubernatorial election. * That's a lot of voters- not the small group you imply. His opponents would have gladly kept him around several more years for entertainment and to pummel at every opportunity. That's just plain crazy. Mecham was hell-bent on destroying Arizona and only an idiot would stand by and let it happen. Then again, only an idiot would have put Mecham in office. * At the time, Arizona had a population of ~5 million, with about 1 in 5 actually voting.

Have you ever seen a heavy smoker die in a hospital? They linger on and
all the while they just want another smoke. It's really sad. Only remedy is morphine which might have been the safer drug all along except it's not "cool" to be a morphine addict. Also if someone dies in their 50s of tobacco related causes, how have they subsidized the system? They may have been productive taxpayers into their early 70s albeit at pretty low levels since the weathy tend not to die this way. |

I can still remember the hate literature that was passed out by the republican party during JFK's first campaign, such glowing examples as the one way ticket to africa on the "Coonard Lines", and the big grin on the face of the asshole as he handed one to each black he saw in the shop. Strange how he didn't grin when a dozen of us that were then younger fellows escorted him and his literature to the incinerator and told him that either it all went in the fire, or he went in the fire. A dozen three inch long, razor sharp burr knives can make anyone change their mind about whether their goal is worthy or not. Whatever. And all Republicans are looking to put grandma and grandpa in the streets, take away school lunch (and breakfast), kill the environment, and generally screw anyone not of the "upper" class. I find it interesting that you seem to think your tactics are noble in the face of some hate speech. It's OK for you to bully someone into changing their mind, but if a Republican does it, we're mean spirited and oppressive. And if you try to read into that last paragraph that I approve of the hate speech, you're wrong. But the playing field isn't level there. It's OK for you to call me homophobic, racist, greedy, selfish, killer of grandma and grandpa, enemy of children, anti-women, etc. etc. etc. No, none of that is *hate* speech, now is it... Your tactics haven't changed, only the focus group you dump your stupidity on. But, the GWeeB promised us that he would show us weapons, rick. Where are they? Could it be that the GWeeB is only a tayksucks liar in a cheap suit? When do the resignations and pardons start? It ****ed me off that young American men have to die over there, it ****es me off worse that it's becoming rapidly clear that they're dying for a goddam lie. It's far more serious than anything Clinton did, but with you people controlling the congress, I'm willing to bet that there will never be any investigation into the presidents motives. At the very least, he's guilty of sending young men off to war with information that he never bothered to check out. Negligent homicide, and multiple counts of it. Sleep with that one, while you try to defend your illegally seated president. Where to begin - so much material, so little time. 1. Bush is not illegally seated, much as your lefty friends would have you believe. If it helps you sleep at night, keep that thought. I wouldn't want you to get cranky and end up on a watchtower somewhere. 2. WMD. If they were all disposed of, why didn't Hussein show proof? Why did the UN and the Clinton administration all say they were there? You seem to think that only 2 months after the hostility that all Iraqies are going to happily talk against Hussein, when everyone knows there are still many loyalists. These people are afraid, but soon Lennie, they'll begin to trust us more than they are afraid of Hussein and the weapons will be found. I'll leave the rest for others to comment on. But, it is nice to hear your discourse without all the crude language. Rick Chamberlain |
