Prohibition of ciggys is a good idea. I've suspected for years that's the direction California is heading. I guess we'll have to wait and see. BTW, cigarettes aren't transportation. They only have a simple function: they're a method of taking in addictive drugs. While tobacco is actually a decent product and can be used to make useful things, cigarettes have no positive health value whatsoever. At least McDonald's hamburgers have protein.

No, it's a horrible idea. Prohibition on alcohol and drugs have been great success. Everyone knows cigs are bad, that's not the issue. It's about having the freedom to smoke or not.

What about no equality? What about the $12,000 you'd have to pay to get your finger put back on? That's a magnificent drain. What about the freedom to not have to be sick or injured because you're poor? There's your loss of freedom: poverty.

It's not the federal governments job to give welfare or healthcare to the poor. It's not even a federal issue. Why can't we leave some things to states like it's supposed to be.

And what makes you think that any universal health care will run like the FDA? Because some governmental agencies aren't working, none can work? Slippery slope.

Uh, healthcare and the FDA and pharma are all directly related. How will the crap the FDA allows not be in universal heatlhcare? I mean it's already there, but with universal care I'll have to use it.

Pharma is declawed under socialized medicine. Insurance companies go out of business, and thus can't affoed to have politicians in back pockets.

Pharma declawed? Not sure how you made that huge leap. The FDA and Pharma are still making the drugs and poisoned food for you to eat and lobbying the proponents of this healthcare package.

So you can hold an investigation when a loved one is murdered when you're at work? Do you have access to databases with fingerprints? Do you have access to criminal records? Don't follow in suit with DK in thinking you could be your own police officer just because you have a gun. Being a police officer is a lot more than being a marksman.

The executive branch has the authority to enforce the law.
You're coming up with some pretty crazy 'what ifs' and conclusions that have no evidence to support them (like pharma being declawed
).
