ALL YOUR SMOKING ARE BELONG TO US
It's unfortunate that the US governments unwillingness to enforce it's own rules causes towns like Belmont to take such extreme actions (although I expect the ordinance will be modified somewhat before final passage).
Those who say an outright ban on the item makes more sense are correct. The FDA, and other government organizations use an important guideline in determining what dangerous products can be sold over the counter to consumners. No matter how poisonous or toxic an item might be, as long as it is not "harmful when used as intended", it can be out there.
For many years, the evidence was sketchy or unconfirmed, but now it is undebatable. Cigarettes clearly do not quality under this guideline and should be removed from over the counter sales.

First time commenter here.
A few observations.
Negotiations generally go better when one can negotiate from a position of strength. I'm hard pressed to determine what strength we have outside of military action. Clearly, world opinion is not on our side nor are many of our old "allies". Forget anything serious from the U.N. I doubt the American people have the will for a strike in Iran.
But any strikes on Iran would seem to further weaken our political position internationally and would most certainly cause Iran to retaliate using Israel as their target.
This is a very tight spot.
Let me add to the emphasis that any strength that is overused becomes a weakness. Bush is going to have to concede on nuclear development for energy use and try to get agreement that inspections take place to confirm intent and development. Frankly, he has no other viable options.
Please don't peg me a liberal. Totally opposite. However, I am realistic though, but not entirely optimistic. I fully expect Iran to engage Israel or vice versa in the not too distant future. When that happens all hell breaks loose.

>>Its nice that people can watch the state murder someone who murdered someone. It gives the death penalty advocate the same satifaction as a murderer and yet they are able to sleep at night because the state murder is “legal.â€

A WORD ABOUT LOYALTY DURING A TIME OF WAR
Some thoughts I had a few days back:
Anarchy!A recent headline proudly proclaimed: “Anarchy†followed by pictures of New Orleans looters in the aftermath of Katrina. Sadly, this was just another graphic example of the continuing propaganda efforts advocating the swift and unequivocal overthrow of the United States Government. Fortunately, it has also served to expose this plot for exactly what it is: SEDITION and TREASON.
Who exactly is involved in this ongoing effort to make America a Third World barrio, replete with all the amenities one finds in the Sahara. Try CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, CBS, ABC, NBC, Time, Newsweek, AP, Reuters, BBC, PBS, and on and on and on. Last night on MSNBC they ran the caption “Bush Katrina Actions Criminal?†throughout some inane discussion. Was this an accident? Or, part of a concerted and concentrated effort with one goal………….
So, if anyone’s looking for a Katrina investigation, here’s a suggestion. Follow the Spitzer technique of using a task force of highly trained investigators (in this case IRS, FBI, Justice, Treasury, SEC, etc.) to make an irrefutable case against the propagandists. The evidence is right in front of our eyes, just take off the blinders and turn on the TIVO.
The following areas should produce substantial results, and can produce an added Homeland Security benefit by reducing or eliminating those in the treasonous pursuit of providing aid and comfort to our enemies during a time of war (authorized by the U.S. Congress):
Anti-trust
Fraud
RICO
Conspiracy
Sedition
Treason
A special area at Guantanamo should be used for interrogations and for holding those arrested and awaiting trial or military tribunal.
Lastly, can any rational person possibly comprehend what these people are really after? Do they really want an America that resembles South America, Africa, Cuba, Haiti, etc. What possible purpose could there be in bringing American prosperity down to the Third World level rather than attempting to upgrade the Third World. Do you think they want their children drinking contaminated water and eating spoiled food; waiting a year to have a needed operation; living in squalor and filth; attending authoritarian controlled public schools, etc? Do they want a depression to take their jobs and reduce them to sitting on street corners all day?
WHAT DO THEY WANT? Could someone explain it please……………
