Florida may raise tobacco-buying age to 21

This bill is likely to die in committee. And if it doesn't there is every indication that Governor Scott will veto it. The state's tobacco bonds debt is simply too great to allow young people to not take up smoking. More troubling is the language in other legislative bills that will lump vaping in with smoking.

I will, however, forward this link to CASAA (Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association).

No one cares anymore.

The US used to be a moral peaceful free country with a balanced budget, but today it is a bankrupt immoral warmongering police state.

All the rules have changed.

You might get arrested for loitering, but just stand on any street corner and watch how many drivers use mobile phones while driving, have unbuckled seatbelts, litter, speed, run redlights, and eat to see the decline.

Since everything is illegal, no cares about breaking the law because even existing is a crime now.

You can blame blacks and illegal illegal immigrants for lawbreaking, but white people break the law, too.

Why obey the law if the government doesn't?

Good men don't need laws.

Bad men won't obey laws.

Listen to what the author of Three Felonies a Day has to say about this.






What this also indicates is that people do not on the whole respect the system and are in fact ignoring it because they understand the practical limitations of the government's power.  Gary North has some interesting things to say about this.  It would also explain why the government like to try to make object lessons out of people like the Bundy family because they know it as well.

A system that has essentially lost the support of the common man who believes it to be corrupt can not endure for long.  Yet another sign of the decline of an empire.

Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence.

It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

It appears that the good doctor has figured it out as well.

One man with courage is a majority.
