<br>>
<br>> 1) Smoking isn't against the law.
<br>
<br>But littering is. Do you every throw your butts out the car window, on the street, etc?
<br>

<br>
<br>Nah.
<br>
<br>> 3) Smoking has nothing to do with uninsured kids.
<br>
<br>Is a funding nexus necessary for legislation?
<br>

<br>
<br>Yeah but you don't care about poor people.
<br>
<br>> 5) Chances are this program is going to blow donkey balls anyway. (See my rants on medicare).

<br>
<br>(yeah i'm baiting you but it's funny when you get on these rants)
