On a related topic, our newly elected Democrat legislature voted to raise cigarette taxes by a dollar a pack and raise taxes on my cigars too. Our newly elected Democrat Governor is practically peeing himself in eagerness to sign the bill. I'll be buying my cigars over the internet and I hope the local Indian tribe starts selling smokes and the border county smokers go to other states to buy cigarettes. Greedy, busybody, nanny state b@stards!

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
