UK: Smoking banned in public places

Today a lot of talk about the UK ban on smoking in public places.

The anti-smoking lobby will be happy — and a lot of those nagging mofo’s as well. And only a matter of time because those health-zealots find something wrong with some other product that they’re too big a pussy to handle to want it banned. (And before you start yelling at me because I’m a stupid biased smoker: I haven’t touched a cigarette in a couple of years now, so fuck that.)

These naive folk fail to realise the long-term effects however. It’s just as stupid as a whole society living, not breaking laws. Laws need to be broken, because people are actually making a living of of that.

So also now, people will loose jobs. And not only in the cigarette-industry either. What about the pubs themselves?

Fact is, pubs gotten big because of drug-abuse (alcohol and smoking), and now they’re removing the drugs (I wonder how long before alcohol gets banned). With these restrictions, lot less people will visit the pub. It’s like, putting DRM on CDs makes people not want to buy them.

Yeah, those terrorists are really out for our ‘freedom’. What kind of shit is that?

Here in the Netherlands, they’re thinking about making people who live ‘unhealthy’ pay more for their insurance. Well, fuck that! This means they will definately be using those RFID tracking information to see what you bought in order to find out that you did drink alcohol. Or that we took the elevator in stead of the stairs.

In the end they will, simply because they can. In that respect the government is one fine example of a dog licking his own balls for pleasure.

The free and the brave? Kiss my fat hairy ass…
