booze next!

I think Doug might be right.  On the one hand, I think smoking cigarettes is
very bad, and I have quit, but I really think as a society we've gone much too
far over to the goody two shoes side of the street.  I don't think that
people's [vices] [habits] [whatever] should be subject to law -- not smoking,
not drinking, not prostitution, not drugs -- as long as no one is forcing me
to participate against my will.  So, if someone wants to drink themself into a
stupor I don't care, as long as they don't drive.  If someone wants to smoke
ten packs a day, I don't care as long as they don't blow it in my face.  And
another thing, can't we find some middle ground between degraded crack heads
knifing each other and fucking Walt Disney for Times Square?  I may have had
some political problems with the Frank Sinatra crowd but at least they were
interesting and made some good tunes.  maggie coleman mscoleman at aol.com
