@Deathmetal- Dude, you're responding to a dogmatic political zealot. In their politico-religion, anyone who is not their candidate is the embodiment of evil, regardless of what they have or have not done. You're wasting your breath against the righteous fury of an unthinking fanatic who knows it all. Though he generally tries to pick fights by calling people pussies or with weird homoerotic "put your red dress on" references, he is clearly trying to bait you. Don't fall for it; remember, on this forum insulting people is OK, but responding to an insult is somehow considered bad form.

It was going well until the steaming pile aka post # 18 was laid down. Hopefully this great thread will live on as most everyone is coloring between the lines.
Lools like everyone is playing by the rules. I sent mine in too. Thanks for the link Deathmetal.

I'm sorry, Cosmic. I don't believe I mentioned anything about how the forum is moderated, or my feelings about it. In fact, I believe that would be a direct violation of forum rules. If you're speaking of the last line of my post, it was referring to the general culture of the forum, not the way the forum is moderated. Every group has its own customs and mores, and that is one of ours. If I had a beef with mod decisions, I wouldn't hesitate to follow the forum rules and take it up with the mods in private.
Thank you for the explaination. Sometimes it's hard to read "tone" in posts sometimes. I hope I didn't sound too heavy handed.
I can't see this ending well as Trump is a nonsmoker. Helping tobacco in today's society would be political suicide as well.
Good point.
I am more thinking that it will be the default argument for people to claim that pipe smoking raises health care costs.
Luckily, we have some facts on that, and can also point out that bringing joy to life may increase life expectancy, or at least allow us to have peaceful deaths in our sleep instead of absorbing average $1.5m in health costs for end-of-life with a terminal condition.
Pipes and cigars are glorious.
I need to convince the golden-headed one of this, and if I have to walk to Washington smoking Royal Yacht nonstop, then that's what I'll do.
My response was lighthearted and an attempt at satire of righteous rage, but I think it failed.
The post is not intended to be political, except to encourage people to get out there and make themselves heard. We are a special interest group and they must hear our roar!
Best case scenario: he sends back a signed tin of Royal Yacht.
It's sure worth a try. DJT doesn't smoke or drink, so it would have to be the business angle that would get attention. However this is not something that will be attended by the White House, in all likelihood. It would probably be put off until a Secretary of Health and Human Services is appointed, and then would be run through them and prioritized. Sorry to be so wonky, but that's how it's done. Then it would depend on the interests of the Secretary as to whether it would be handled from FDA or, for some reason, brought to the White House's attention.
