Here's what I want to know:
5% of all deaths from diseases of the circulatory system are
attributed to alcohol.
I'm in favor of banning the growth and sale of all tobacco products.
Thought you'd like to know that.
Great - that's wonderful that you have an actual opinon on the subject
of smoking.
Now, how about the alcohol?

As Scott mentioned, harry's response had absolutely nothing to do with the
thread you began. His rebuttal to your follow up, again had nothing to do
with the thread. What does smoking have to do with booze? This is his M.O.
in *every* thread. This will now grow to a long winded, flaming, personal
attack thread. As is every other one that harry contributes to. Yes, I'm
part of it, and I apologize. I will not respond to this thread again.

Oh yeah, I notice that the only threads that don't get out of hand, are the
ones that harry starts... no one responds. What a surprise.

Well, just so you know.. The attack was aimed at Tom who is well known
for enjoying a good cigar here and there.... You are right, it is his
M.O... it has been for over a decade.

My rant of a reply misdirected to intent is none the less my sentiment.

Well, that has more to do with the Democratic party controlling the
main stream media, thus the propaganda. Most Americans never see both
sides of an argument, only what the DNC feeds them through a corrupted
and pretty much useless system. Just wait till Obama gets the
censorship doctrine (fairness doctrine) into place, there will be no
options for anyone who has a dissenting point of view..

Either way Tom is right. booze is at least as dangerous as cocaine and
other drugs but it can be easily taxed so it will survive.. MJ for
instance is too easy to "manufacturer" to be controled and taxed, so
it will be taxed with the criminal system instead of the taxman...
