26 Days Until America Feels Just a Little More Socialist

Maybe one day the citizens of Greenwood will rise up against this tyranny and take back what is rightfully theirs. The right to kill themeselves in any way, shape or form without hypocrisy from external sources who frequent these establishments so rarely it is a wonder why the hell they care to begin with.

I will work to take your so-called right to kill me, my friends, my family away.
The law reads that it is aganist the law to distribute, sell tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco by-products to minors. You smokers are sharing you second-hand smoke with babies, children, adults and about anybody you care to. That is breaking the law. Shoud six year olds be able to buy whiskey, beer and cigs.
If you did the laws, I guess you would decide that that is a good thing. It is your addiction that is running your life.
Let me kill myself, I don't need your help.

No, I agree with the laws that minors should not be able to buy or consume tobacco products. In addition, minors should also refrain from entering places where second hand smoke is so prevalent, i.e. bars or local watering holes. I do not have a problem with banning smoking from a limited area of public places, but I do disagree with the ban from places such as bars. Or there should be stricter enforcement on the so-called smoking and non-smoking section. I understand the overall health benefits, but I think this regulation is taking away our freedom of free will. If someone wants to hang out in a smokey bar, then that is at there disgression. If they do not wish to be in that environment, then they should refrain from engaging in those social activities were second hand smoke is so widespread.

Obama or McCain? You Decide.

Image
Barack Obama is the only candidate that has been successful at reaching across party lines in the presidential election. I as well have not had much to say on The Dirt. It is unfortunate that I no longer consider myself in tune with life in the Delta and can no longer comment as such. My free time (what little of it I have) has also been dedicated to following both the presidential election and American Idol like a hawk. That having been said, I am not afraid to admit that my name is on Amy's list of previously sane people who are seriously considering Obama in November. Now, my consideration depends on a lot of future events to fall into place. First and foremost, Obama will have to beat Hillary for the Democratic nomination. If that were to happen, my pick between Obama and McCain would also depend on who each picks for their veep candidate. As a self-proclaimed independent, I find myself torn between these two candidates and refuse to make a blind decision based on what ce...

Editorial: As Predicted, McCain Falls in the Polls

This two-minute campaign ad clearly states Barack Obama's plan to reenergize our economy. Thank God someone is addressing this issue. In an opinion editorial previously published this week, I predicted that the roller coaster ride the economy has been on this week would cause Republican presidential candidate John McCain to fall in the polls. "My prediction: By the end of the week, McCain's stance on the economy will cause his Palin bump in the polls to all but disappear." According to Real Clear Politics , "one of America’s premier independent political web sites," my prediction came true. Currently, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is ahead in the polls by 1.9% , approximately the level by which he was ahead leading into the Democratic and Republican conventions. The Palin bump that McCain joined is now completely gone. This reversal of fortune is due, in part, to Obama's strength on the issue of the economy and the popularity of his e...
