Fascism Marches On

The anti-smoking extremists are up to it again.

Powerful anti-smoking groups have been pushing the MPAA to slap any movie that shows smoking with an automatic R rating, unless that movie deals with a historical figure who actually smoked (think Good Night and Good Luck) or shows people suffering hideous consequences as a result of their folly. According to the research of a group called Smoke Free Movies, most PG-13 movies depict smoking, and that contributes to hundreds of thousands of kids taking up cigarettes.

If they succeed in doing that, you’ll probably see other groups try to get guns banned from movies, and certain foods, and maybe even anything that depicts people producing too many carbons or pollution. The silliness of these people is only outweighed by their attempts to limit our lives, because of what amounts to an agenda of ignorance.

As far as I’m concerned, these people are really no better than the Taliban. They are almost as ideological and restrictive of human freedoms. They just can’t enforce things at the point of a gun, so they try to use the system.

It’d like we live in the new Victorian Age. Except people were able to drink, smoke and use drugs freely then.

I am not saying these are good things to do, but those who would ban us from having the choice are worse than the habits they despise.

Whether you like smoking or not (I never smoked), if you stand by and let smokers rights be taken away, don’t be surprised when they come aftrer what you like to do next.

We really need to stand up to this nonsense. It’s out of control.

I sooooooo agree. We have turned into The Nanny State. It only serves to make this country weak. When I was a kid, you had to survive bike riding without a helmet (required by law in my state) and riding in a car that had NO seatbelts. We played dodgeball and kept score in athletic games. If we got popped with a ball or lost a game, we learned to GET OVER IT!!!! You smoked or ate donuts at your own risk. I think the jihadists know our national weakness, and are preparing to take advantage of it. We’ve set ourselves up for disaster. God help us!!!!! The PC police will kill us all!!!!!!!!

Don’t forget you could ride in the back of a pickup truck.
