Subject: Congratulations on first blood Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2003 11:33:51 -0400 To: From: Bob Armstrong To all of you who voted for it : Congratulations on the first fatality induced by your extension= of the war on drugs to tobacco . Just 12 days . You must feel a pride which will last your lifetime . Now your failure to appreciate the wisdom of each of our Bill of= Rights for "ensuring domestic tranquility" , by your effort to try to= deny many hundreds of thousands of your fellow citizens the Right to= Relax in the manner they choose , has led to death , increasing New York= City's death rate for the year in a very unambiguous way . As with Alcohol prohibition , for which the Constitution was= amended for a dozen years , the insanity and immorality of this= unconstitutional war on peaceful fellow citizens who find calm or solace or ease of= pain or attentiveness or insight or concentration or happiness from= herbs and their extracts that humanity has lived with and cultivated since= before history is ever more vivid . To hear that Mr. Bloomberg was joking with a lit cigarette of= some kind the same evening , and knowing of his joking about= enjoying marihuana , shows a callous hypocritic arrogant disregard for= individual liberty . I will remind you , as I closed my testimony before you December= 15 : For the sake of Domestic Tranquility and Prosperity , stop= this insane drive to control other people's lives . You are not our superiors . Demonstrations in the streets is= the best you can hope for . See := http://cosy.com/Liberty.htm#SmokingBan We in the Libertarian Party , with our meager resources but= growing numbers , will do every thing we can think of to target each of= your campaigns for reelection and use this death as our first exhibit= .
