Smoker Discrimination???
A letter was published in the newspaper Wednesday comparing the treatment of smokers to that of "blacks during segregation" times???
What the devil was this person thinking? I'm sure it's tough to not be able to smoke anywhere you want to when you’re finished eating a restaurant. Sitting in a "segregated" section and all can be tough. Not to mention the fact at how tricky it is to get reservations in Wichita Falls for "smoking only".
I’m sure all 2 restaurants in Wichita Falls that still take reservations are always packed with smokers.
The last time I checked sitting next to a black person didn't kill anybody. Nor does it make clothes stink or eyes sting.
And more importantly...it's nowhere near the same level as “blacks during segregation” times.
What happened to eating at home?
I know having a night out on the town is nice, but what's it in comparison to a home-cooked meal.
I'd take my wife's cooking over something prepared behind closed doors any day of the week.
Maybe the person who wrote the letter was smoking something else when he/she typed it up.
The letter also advised non-smokers to "go where we don't go."
Sounds just like "blacks during segregation" times alright. (Insert sarcasm here)
Now all smokers need is a leader with the verbal persuasion of Martin Luther King Jr. and maybe Malcolm X to rectify the ever changing demographic of healthier people.
Come to think of it, maybe a few smokers could start a KKK - A Kool Krusaders Klub.
You can go around and put burning cigarettes in people's lawn and run away in smoky-grey sheets on your stinky car full of cigarette burn holes.
The letter goes on to attack hospital's non-smoking policy, concerts (what concert does this person go to?) and sporting occasions.
Seriously!
The fact that I even took time to write a rebuttal is killing me now. My grandma smokes, has for years, and I'm sure it skimmed a good decade off her life.
My wife is having our first child early next year, and I pray every day she will make it to welcome her first great-grandchild onto this Earth.
