It's a joke to believe we have freedom to do anything.

IF you want to be insured by them....

And it's legal, because they are a private business and can insure who they want.

Now wait a minute..... a company can do this but not decide if they want their patrons to smoke? And the citizenry of this country smile, claim it's for the betterment of everyone else and accept getting ass fucked and have rights taken away, because they feel a tad bit safer now.

Death is inevitable, accidents are inevitable.... we cannot prevent either and to pass legislation taking away people's rights is fucked up.

It amazes me..... you think if we have a true war or problem in this country you're going to worry about whether the guy next to is smoking a cigarette? Or talking on a cellphone or listening to an IPod as they walk down the road?

People wait for extremes.... until then they don't give a damn about what rights they are losing.
