Wednesday, March 31st, 20041) California takes its assault on smokers outside. Public parks and beaches are now banning cigarettes, too.
2) The Atlanta Journal-Constitution endorses a state-wide smoking ban, one that would include a ban on smoking in any vehicle where children are present. Yes. That means you aren’t permitted to smoke in your own car in front of your own children. Think they aren’t coming into your home next? Predictably, the editorial misses the property rights angle completely.
3) Also from Georgia, lawmakers have decided you aren’t allowed to pierce your genitals.
4) In Virginia, a woman could get up to five years in prison for receiving oral sex, which the state has deemd “a crime against nature.” Selfish men across the state now have a “but honey, I can’t…” anecdote for wives and girlfriends.
5) Here’s a quick round up of other things you aren’t allowed to do with your genitals.
6) The Heartland Institute reports that earlier this month, Mendocino County, California became the first jurisdiction in the country to ban all genetically engineered plants and animals. So the allegedly “liberal” county assures it will have no part in finding better ways to feed and medicate the world’s poor, while aiding the environment in the process.
7) Reps. Frank Wolf and Lucille Roybal-Allard have joined Rep. Tom Osborne in sponsoring a House bill calling on the NCAA to ban all alcohol advertising during college sports events.
8) Following the lead of European enviro-wackos, Angola becomes the second African country that would rather allow its people to starve than to feed them genetically modified food.
9) Ireland institutes a nationwide ban on public smoking. Other EU countries are expected to follow suit, beginning with Denmark.
The lawmakers in Georgia decided women cannot pierce their genitals, not men. Not only are they busybody idiots, they are sexist busybody idiots.
Sooo… any good news lately?
NEWSFLASH:
People still deny the cold hard truth that non-smokers still die everyday; just like smokers.
1. Government smoking bans on private property are more troubling than bans on public land.
2. Brilliant legislation. Next on the list is outlawing overeating in front of your children, an even bigger danger than second-hand smoke.
3. I’m not as shocked by the bill as I am that it passed the Georgia House 160 to 0. Cowards.
4. Pretty clear she’ll win. Thank god because something has got break up the usual routine.
5. Sad state of affairs.
6. Perhaps they’re affraid the plants will mutate and turn on their human masters?
7. Morality aside, why is government using its power and authority to determine appropriate sponsors for the NCAA, a non-government organization?
8. Aren’t you familiar with the recent Angola University study reporting that GM foods can steal your soul?
9. What other countries do to themselves is very high on my ‘who cares’ list.
Redneck retards in Georgia outlawing piercing a surprise? Um, no not really.
Wow, how respectful.
#10 Minnesota has lowered its BAC from .10 to .08

Hate to break it to the anti-GM crowd, but EVERY crop is genetically engineered.
Every single one.
They’re just afraid of the pipets and test tubes because they don’t understand the science. Scientists like me are just out to play God and destroy the world. yep yep yep
I add that I have now reaffirmed my resolve to never move to Virginia.
My boyfriend just informed me that oral sex is also illegal in KY and IN.
I guess I have to hope we never get caught. Sheesh.
So are the Mendocino County idiots not going to grow seedless grapes? Sweet corn? Popcorn? (etc. etc.) Stuff that was “crossbred” before there was “genetic engineering”. Ah well, I guess I won’t confuse them with facts.
Ahhh, stupid people. Can’t live with ‘em. . . can’t live with ‘em.
Ah Bronwyn, Andy, I know I get really confused so I bothered to check, here is the definition used in the legislation. Read it and weep
(a) Genetically modified organisms means specific organisms whose native intrinsic DNA has been intentionally altered or amended with non species specific DNA. For purposes of this ordinance, genetic modification does not include organisms created by traditional breeding or hybridization, or to microorganisms created by moving genes or gene segments between unrelated bacteria.
These Things I Half-Heartedly Believe
1. It probably wasn’t a good day for Bush the Elder to whine about intellectuals ruining our ongoing success in Iraq. 2. Department of Defense staffers are not cyborgs, because they need coffee. Coffee would corrode a cyborg’s vital circuitry….

“Tennessee, Skullbone – It is illegal for a women to masturbate a man or perform oral sex on him while he is driving a car.”
So you cant get head in a place called “Skullbone”?
These fucking politicians never rest do they? They just keep passing laws, and when no new laws are required they just pass some more.
Their work is never done it seems ;-)
I was just in Ireland the day before they instituted the ban. I don’t see how they can possibly enforce it. The pubs are filled with smokers, and smoking is allowed in most places. They’re going from heavy smoking to no smoking overnight, and the Gardai have already said they don’t want to enforce the ban. But here’s the best part: the name of the government department responsible for instituting the ban is the Deparment of Health and Children. How Orwellian is that?
Drew, I’m not weeping over anything. My statement still stands. The ordinance, even with it’s but-not clause, is still ill-informed and useless.
Oral Sex! (But That’s Not The Interesting Part…)
NEWPORT NEWS – A Newport News [Va.] woman charged with a felony for receiving oral sex in a car is challenging a state law that prohibits certain types of sex between consenting adults. A police officer says he found
I was merely correcting your mistaken assumption Bronwyn. Your “statement” is opinion taken from some, but by means all, studies, nothing more.
i note from the link that it’s illegal to streak in louisiana. I come from a place with a fine tradition in streaking, and only last week we had a particularly choice example…

Hi is David and Yeda in Ireland this is an essay that might give you some inspiration about the philosophical meanings of the lord of the rings if you like the story you will love this
+++ONE RING TO KEEP THEM IN THE DARK++++
Smoking a self-destructive habit, which started at some point in time in the Americas it just seems crazy when you think about it philosophically its an act violence on the self body & sole masochism to use the correct phrase itâ??s the hole in the bucket of your sole. Anybody who has given up will now how hard it is but how better you feel .I can only compare it to breaking free from a prisoner of war camp other smokers are the guards and all around. So to stay on top you keep fit which is a normal thing in its self
Smoking has nothing to offer society I and a lot of people believe it has a very bad effect on the collective consciousness and is a corner stone of the problems of the world effecting the perceptions of people themselves its like a blinker for the hole of humanity back hole for spirit a destroyer or vacuum of loves energy the it keeps us humanity from attaining holiness 100%spiritual awareness
The method I used to stop a pilgrimage the Camino Santiago de Compostela in Spain it took 36 days in total from the Pyrenees to Finisterra where you burn a set of clothes at the end. Itâ??s a very powerful thing to do psychologically & spiritually the death of the old and start of the new. As for smoking I now have a massive immunity against them a buffer zone. But itâ??s not just the burning of a set of clothes the whole pilgrimage you are becoming more aware spiritually awoken other pilgrims may smoke but the tone is always down around where they are. With giving up smoking you have to break many psychological links like the link with food alcohol its like cutting out badges out of your physique your ego out of your fore conscience. Smoking keeps you from harmonising with your true spiritual self your inner child when your in harmony with yourself your dreams donâ??t seem so alien and you can decode them more easily. The Camino is a spiritual thing Camino means way and ultimately you find a truer way a better course and leave a lot of chains behind the only thing is its hard coming back into the horrible reality that exists in the world now .I personally believe two major things keep the world this way commercial separation separate commercial identities in competition with each other in other words inharmonious systems and the other is lack of respect for life not enough love and people in the dark with the bad systems being part of the problem not part of the solution a taker rather than a giver a world of givers is better than a world takers a simple philosophy.
I had a thought on the pilgrimage for the possible reason smoking started, something like that just doesnâ??t just happen for no reason. Smoking causes a spiritual vacuum. So possibly people like Columbus and others felt a draw over the ocean. The shamans of the Americas smoked because they thought it brought them closer to god. Well the Europeans who came over who had something the thing that made Europe great the Gospel. I also have a theory why smoking was allowed to continue even grow it was sort of like a blinker for the hole of humanity so the day when it ceased worldwide would be the day when humanity fully awoke.
Some countries have taken positive steps but the best way to deal with it is to treat it for what it is an illness a spiritual illness banning smoking from the work place & all public places is good but it does not stop it .It has to stop growing so dependent smokers should get a state card and only with this card can you buy cigarettes or you have to get a prescription for them after doing a medical until you attempt or the cut off point for a national or international effort to stop all at once stopping all production and distribution limiting sale to pharmacies. All the financial gain made from selling cigarettes should go back into structured government EU &international plans for getting people well if everybody gave up at the same time It would make so much easer This would have to be planned but there is no reason this canâ??t happen before Halloween or all saints day by the least? Doctors could prescribe pilgrimages something like the Camino a spiritual journey say on the Wicklow Leister way, which starts in Marley Park.
Health groups could provide a structure along the way accommodation food medical care ect they could study the Camino Santiago de Compostela in Spain that pilgrimage is about 1500 years old its symbol is the escallop shell. It depends on how dynamic the government or governments are. First the extra tax on the smokes would help doubling the price to really get the message home
Groups would see injustice and their power to change popular culture would come more into the light Our media would reflect the change from a bad news to good news Terror Terrorism would be a thing of the past and loose its grip love would prevail people would rise above the past hate fear anger all the things of the past Perfect systems would come into place
Rubbish would be a thing of the past. The EU would become the UE united earth or union of earth all pockets of hell on Earth would be removed the military would become a disaster reaction force the gun would be retired violence would end
People of different nationalities &cultures would not be looked at in a fearful way .the wealth gap would harmonise International Treaties could be passed like the formation of a new international Language a mixture of Chinese English Spanish Indian Islamic and African languages. To help bring the world together everybody in the world could communicate to each other you would then only need two languages your native language &the international one.
The pillars of our new world order would be Liberty & Responsibility. New trading methods could be put in place one where there is no inflation. Say a kilo of rice is one Earth credit or a kilo of wheat all separate commercial identities would merge into national services, food service, health services manufacturing services each nation would have a quota for trade 50% produce for home consumption 50% for export
How we can start is by sending this message to as many people as you can to Governments to translate it into the languages of the various countries this will reach the media public fingers the consciousness collective the world has the perfect medium in the internet just send it to everyone in your mail box photocopy it and give it to people we will all be part of this could reach a million people before next month its up to You
