. . . but I find the idea of banning clove cigarettes or this absurd incident much more offensive to my libertarian-ish sensibilities than universal health care.

Disintegration was a great album, wasn’t it?Report
Was? It still is! Though I actually prefer Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me.
Man, MegaCon just won’t be the same next year. (Though I’m probably not going this time anyway..uh.)Report
I find it difficult to be objective about cigarettes being as my Grandmother died of lung cancer from second hand smoke and my Grandfather (the source of said smoke and oh too keenly aware of it) spent two years in pure mental hell before death took him.
That said, I was only ever lukewarm about bans in bars and private places. Bans in open air environments is over the top and god knows I’ll invegle against bans on private individual use with great venom.
On the second item I can only shake my head. Oh the English. The mind blowing idiocy of far left regulaphillia.Report
Of course the ironic thing is that they didn’t ban menthol, which is like 70% of the cigarettes that black folks smoke.
I’m just glad i still have my mint-flavored dip.Report
Of course not. Phillip Morris make menthols. Cloves are imported from Indonesia. It’s protectionism.Report
