Fresh Air - on the radio - voting

[Clark Santos]

Living is a privilege, not a right. Lets operate more like a humane 
society or glue factory and get rid of all the gimps and stove-ups who 
live in the beautiful hotel owned "Restful Villas" or "Garden Heights" 
as a blow to greedy doctors, drug companies and corporate profiteers. 
This process will help Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and provide 
many nice parking places close to the doors of all enterprises.

Survival of the fittest has been established for eons. If your body 
tends croak on second hand smoke, then so be it. If you can't afford 
it, cut it off or unplug it! If you don't like society subtly fucking 
you for profit or control, withdraw, move, change societies, or all of 
the above!

Sorry folks, smoking is a privilege, not a right.  Think public health
when you think of the ban.  It has been proved again and again that
smoking, first- and second-hand, kills. Would you take seriously an
ordinance whose punishment was only a slap on the hand? The public
health issue is largely ignored in the debate over this proposed
ordinance.

Two good people whom many of you knew, Kit Teele and Jim Groenewegen,
died of lung cancer after many years of smoking. People choose to smoke
and I do not favor taking that choice away. But they can keep their
smoke out of my air and that's what this ordinance tries to address.
