re: #309 avanti

I think you can reject the sky is falling arguments from the likes of Al Gore without rejecting the science that shows the earth warming and that man is part of it.

BTW, do I take your post to indicate you don’t believe the science behind the health dangers of second hand smoke too ?

I can certainly reject the fact that “the argument is over”. I can reject the fact that my government is moving out and getting ready to enact draconian policies that will have a direct impact on all of us economically - as if the argument was over.
And yes, I question the second hand smoke studies. I am an ex-smoker but I still object to the nazi tactics being used against smokers. And the tactics took root once the studies ‘found’ that the smoke hurt others. Prior to that the health police were finding that their arguments were losing ground when the only one hurt was the smoker himself. Much easier to put the jackboot down when you can accuse the smoker of endangering others…even if they’re hundreds of yards….or miles away.
