The thing with politics is this. Our "representatives" are supposed to be acting in our best interests, but then you go to the cigar shop and there is a new way your bulk tobacco has to be handed to you etc, but none of us are asking for these little details. Now, without mentioning names if we look at our representatives closely, we will see many of them go to the same country clubs and ride in the same golf cart while all the regular people take one side or another and argue it out. Many of these "representatives" have said one thing one year, and then the opposite years later, and it never matters to most because people will back up whoever states their key issues a the time. But again, the people fight with each other while these other people laugh it up in the same country club. My point is that there is no point in fighting with one another while we are being stimulated on various subjects through various forms of media. Now, there is a purpose and place for things without doubt, but there was a day when a man like Kennedy was liked by both parties. I consider myself apolitical, yet realize that alone is a political statement.
As for tobacco legislation, there is a horse of another color. No matter what form, because it is "bad for us" whether it is cigs, cigars, or pipes, there is always some gradual restriction, tax, where you can and cannot do it, how many feet you have to stand from a building, etc. I do not see how many smokers would fight with one another on the subject, but then again, I see human nature, and people fight with each other over everything possible.
