Philadelphia: My Home Town

Give me Fresh Air .... or give me a pack of "Luckys" ...... whichever!!

"The city of brotherly love." A quote befitting a fine fine city .... some take this expression literally .... other citizens and politicians just hold hands and sing "We are the world." Sometimes you can even hear it over the gunfire.

Mr. Street (Mayor) wants to ban a"BAD" habit. Well, goody for him. I’m quite sure that many of his colleagues and relatives within the administration definitely share his feelings, at least those that haven’t been indicted yet or happen to be a "person of interest". Ya know there's NO smoking in the clink anymore.

Let's ban all "BAD" habits. 1-All Alcoholic Beverages (Beer-Liquor-Wine). It harms the consumer & contributes substantially to pedestrian deaths. 2-All fast foods. It promotes obesity and adds to health risks. 3- All coffee shops. Caffeine. Same as nicotine. 4- All Doughnuts. Same as fast foods. 5-All high powered vehicles. You cannot travel more than 20 mph on any city street or highway anyway. 6- All vehicles operating with one lone driver except Pizza deliveries. And finally, let's ban all Lawyers & Politicians, especially those individuals who hold both titles.

Most citizens are acutely allergic to BULL(Bleep).

Here’s the Q & A:
(All theoretical answers supplied by yours truly (Iceman)):

1) Should the government require a non-smoking environment for small employers with less than three(3)employees per shift where the general public is not impacted?

Yes
No: The government should not discriminate against "little" (people) employers (dwarfism).

2) Should there be "smoking" restaurants just like there are "non-smoking" restaurants?

Yes: As long as there are no visible flames.
No

3) Should employers be permitted the opportunity to maintain facilities which provide for both non-smoking as well as smoking environments so long as NON- smokers are protected, such as through the use of separate rooms and smoke ventilation systems?

Yes: Absolutely, and NON-smokers should be provided (Bleeping) gas masks as well.
No

4) Should adult smokers be allowed to smoke as much as they please, especially in bars and restaurants, if non-smokers are not hurt?

Yes: Adults ... yes! Children should have limits.
No

5) Should we just let the FREE MARKET work? Will people go to facilities which fail to adequately protect them from cigarette smoke?

Yes: "FREE !!!????? What the (Bleep) planet do you hail from?
No

6) Is there any value to showing a certain RESPECT for smokers by providing THEM with an outlet to pursue their BAD but perfectly legal habit?

Yes: "RESPECT !!!!". I musta missed that. "BAD ???" .... get a (Bleeping) life Monsignor.
No

7) Is it fair that some employees who may not want to work in a "smoking" environment may have to do so because of economic circumstances?

Yes: Especially when you work for Philip Morris.
No

8) If it is not fair, then should any legislation require protections for employees working in a "smoking" environment?

Yes: Refer to # 3
No

9) Is it enough to offer people a choice to enter or avoid "smoking" restaurants?

Yes
No: There should be "smoking" restaurants, "non-smoking" restaurants", and restaurants that only cater to NON-smoking, pill pooping, vegetarian, left coast weenies.

Note: If you really wanna quit, join one of those (Bleeping) radical terrorist groups. They don't allow smoking, ..... even in the privacy of their own caves. I guess that's why we started that big "Joe Camel" campaign .... just to (Bleep) them off.
