I like you to check this out.

Sender's Name: Roy ROWLEY

Message:
I would like to know how many people can tell me what would happen if you take 10 people and put them in a
room with 10 smokers. How many will die?

Now If you to take 10 people put them in a room with a car or a truck running and tell me how many will die.

Ok one more time. You take 10 people stand them in a room and you get somebody with a second hand gun and shoot at them,(they may get lucky, they may not ) What you think.
Is going to happen?

Another one, if you take 10 people stand them up in a line facing a car or a truck with somebody that has been drinking driving. Can somebody tell what can happen?
I'd like to say I don't have anything bad to say if you drink at home.
There are little kids out there on the road don't kill them. thanks

Now if you send our kids, Fathers, Mothers,etc, to war, How many do you think will die?
If you think that only one will die,..........NOT....... Not going to happen.
So now with this being said I hope you can understand where I'M coming from.

There is a lot of other things that can kill
but having the government looking to make more money from you because of it is sad.

I think some of them look to do it just to see how much power they have telling people what they can or cannot do....... So I like to say this I'm not a kid I'm going to be 51 years old and I pay taxes and my kids pay taxes.

Thank you for your time.

Louisiana Dictators

Dear Mr. Representative,

I don't know who you and everyone of the representatives that voted for this ban think you are. I think ya'll need to change your title to House of Rulers, instead of representatives.
What gives ya'll the right to make up laws without the peoples vote? What is happening to our freedom? We don't have much of any left as it is.
I recently quit smoking over a year ago. Not because I had to or because someone made me. I chose to stop on my own. I understand smoking is bad for you, and others around you. But when will ya'll stop trying to tell us fully grown, law abiding adults, how to live?
If ya'll want to stop the "sickness's" from smoking and second hand smoke, then stop the production of tobacco altogether. But oh no, ya'll would never do that. The government makes way too much money from the sales of tobacco. And the other killer, alcohol. Don't hear ya'll trying to stop that either. The government would go totally bankrupt without it.
And considering we just buried my 27 year old nephew because he was drinking and driving, ya'll have your priorities all wrong. A person who smokes or is around smoke has a good chance of living a pretty decent life, to a good age. But a person who drinks and drives, either kills themselves or some innocent people. It is a traumatic death. Something very hard for their loved ones to overcome for a long time. I don't know if you have had someone in your family die like that. My sister is not taking it too well. When a smoker dies, they us usually go peacefully.
But back to my subject. I am upset at all these laws that are making hard working, law abiding citizens criminals. Any little thing they can make a law on to collect on fines and court fees is just fine with ya'll.
Back to our freedom. We are supposively fighting a useless war in Iraq for our "freedom". How can you honestly send our sons, daughters, fathers and mothers to die for our freedom while ya'll sit here at home and take away ours. It's not about the Iraqi peoples freedom anyway..It's all about the oil.
Any smoker in their right mind will always open their drivers side window while they are smoking, the smoke gets pulled out as they are driving.
I would like to know who will give the police officers, public officials, etc..etc. a ticket? I see police officers all the time without their seatbelts. But let us get caught without it. I see them speeding and making improper turns all the time.
I feel that if ya'll want to tell us how to live and what is right from wrong, being you think "we the people" are too stupid to know better, then you should start paying my bills. Maybe my car insurance, house/flood insurance, life insurance, etc. Maybe take away all the taxes we have to pay for you to tell me how I should be living. I'm 50 years old and have not been in trouble for anything. Now you are going to make a criminal of my wife because she smokes.
How many of ya'll have been to a funeral of a young person that got killed drinking and driving? How many of ya'll have gone to a funeral of someone who smoked? In case you haven't I can tell you the difference. A person who smoked will look pretty much the same as they did before they died. A person killed because of drinking and driving will not look the same as they did the day before. There will be cuts and bruises and heavy makeup used. The damages from drinking far outweigh the damages from smoking or second hand smoke.
I feel you don't really give a damn about the people or the kids. All you care about is the money.


Sincerely yours,
