hey, are you implying that i altered that photo? bullshit. it’s dead on, including the lack of color except where it comes from somebody else. how dare you “impugn” (popular word) my journalistic integrity. this is a world class blog.

The most appropriate comment I can think of is a quote from a new essay that I anticipate will run at The Price of Liberty on Friday:

“Anti-smoking activists may use the brute hand of the law to make the world safe for their preferred brand of ‘democratic’ tyranny… Some activists may covet privileged conceptions of ‘rights’ which they apply to themselves, and when successful at political lobbying may deprive other people of rights, effectively shrinking others into a category of lesser beings with fewer rights and protections under the law.”

Btw, Charley, that 666 was a clever touch… ;)
