One more for ya....

I don't think any of you will ever understand why we feel the way we do. There are so many things that are unhealthy for us but there are no laws against them. If smoking was so bad then why don't they ban cigerettes all together? We all know why. The government makes more money from tobacco sales than the tobacco companies do. I'm upset with it because of the fact that our rights are being taken away from us. Not just with the smoking issue. In case I forgot to inform you, I don't even smoke any more. My wife does and I wish she would quit. But it's her choice. Where are our rights as smokers? Who will fight for their rights? We don't have the NAACP to run too everytime something happens that we don't think is right.
The food we eat, the water we drink, the exhaust fumes from cars and factories, etc. is killing us all slowly. What gets me even more is that we are sending our children, fathers and mothers, to Iraq to supposively fight for their freedom, and supposively to protect ours. while our government is taking away ours, little by little.
I think the American Cancer Society is just pulling at straws to find an easy answer to what causes cancer. There are so many things that cause cancer out there they don't even know about. Lets blame it on smoking and second hand smoke.
If ya'll are so concerned about our health and safety why wasn't our levees fixed or improved 20 years ago? Why did we have to flood....again? Why is nothing being done, except study after study? I think ya'll should be more concerned about this problem instead of thinking of new ways to make us criminals.Where were ya'll when we flooded? I didn't see a single one of you on our street to see if we needed anything. I had to put a sign out at the end of our street before we got any help from anyone. I have flooded twice in 20 years. What is going to happen to me next time? Will I be denied help from the government because I didn't move out? Ya'll need to get ya'll priorities straight.
