# The Smokers Liberation Front "is committed to opposing anti-smoking repression via radical means including, but not limited to, consciousness raising among the smoking community and direct action in defence of our rights." I wish them luck. I hate legislation that bans smoking on private property, especially if that property is a bar or restaurant that is open to the public. If you don't like smoking, don't go to or work at places that allow it. Petition the owners to provide non-smoking spaces or to make their establishments non-smoking. Stop pointing government guns at smokers. Only the property owner has the authority to decide whether smoking will be allowed on his property. I added the Smokers Liberation Front logo to the left column links, below the McCain-Feingold Insurrection. [samizdata]

# Leonard Clark at Rense.com - No MAS - Not One More American Soldier should die in Iraq for Bushnev's lie. Mr. Clark is an Arizona Army National Guard member stationed in the sandbox. [root]

I have been talking to my fellow soldiers about this whole situation and I have told them about how the leadership in Washington is trying to get the American people to silence their criticisms of the continued lunacy we call the occupation of Iraq.

I tell them that they are saying to the Congress: "Well, ya know, our poor soldiers wanna stay and finish the fight in Iraq, but you people in Washington D.C. are undercutting their morale by bringing up this 'time table stuff'" and "What the hell are we doing in Iraq? Do we have a plan?" stuff.

When I tell this to my fellow soldiers, they immediately begin to laugh and then they get pissed off that such bullshit is being spouted back home, because we are the ones who are calling home and telling our families what a bunch of lies and crap they are telling the American people.

...

Well, I'm not gonna wait for another damn wall for Iraq to be filled with the names of my fellow soldiers, and I hope you're not either. The cause we fight for is noble and just, it is to save the lives of American soldiers who are tragically dying over here needlessly. If we can save just one more American soldier's life who knows - we might just end up saving humanity itself.

There are those who say that one life is not worth much, but I say every human life is the gift of GOD, and to destroy one of those lives for the greed and corruption of hypocrites who do not have to fight wars - nor whose children do not have to fight wars - is a great sin. To lie and say we are dying over here to ensure 'democracy' in the Middle East when what we really are doing is fighting for Exxon and Halitburton is impeachable.

Remember this: not one more American soldier should die over here, for it is a needless death that didn't have to happen...but only for the US occupation of Iraq.
