You may add an 11th thing to do. You may want to read how the dogmatistis have attempted to defame and smear a reknown professor of political science simply because he dared exercise his freedom of speech about smoking bans among other government encroachment tactics.
Feel free to spread it, share it, anywhere you see fit. We have Dr. Romano's permission to do so.

Ah, CREW. Irony upon irony. Crew is backed by Soros whose first major cause is legalizing marijuana. How odd it's involved in this McCallum crusade. Though actually, once you reckon its real motives, not.
All its exposes (dunno how to get that accent on the e, so read "ex-po-zays") have been pretty gamey, and their actual purpose is to kill Republicans by fair means or foul. And Foley (which you mention) was another example, since crew was deeply involved in that too. "For the children,"my A. This was all about setting off a bomb in Congress and trying to kill Republicans, and no matter what your politics, you ought to feel disgust.
And just for the record, the Foley thing is going to get as bad as the Anita Hill thing in making everyday life more difficult for everyone, in this case, for homosexuals. The exploitation of this incident, for political advantage, by liberty-loving Democrats (of all people) is going to backfire on homosexuals in a nasty way, since the false equation has been broadly spelled out that homosexual = pederast-- even though no pedarasty took place, nor "child abuse" nor anything else that's been implied . It's another example of using "for the children" to disguise the real motives and to obtain other ends. As was McCallum.
Scratch a do-gooder and you're more than likely to come up with a do-badder.

My ten year old daughter and I love to watch curling, living in ND it's one of those "sports" that go well with all the ice and snow, but I agree with the golf analogy, just kidding, whatever turns yer crank as long as it doesn't try to turn mine for me.
Seriously, the newspaper around here is loudly touting the Helena and Pueblo "studies" as further reason to go to an all out ban, the one on restaurants, bowling alleys, and everything except free standing bars isn't good enough for them.
Today the push is because the next legislative session is approaching, and they want a level playing field in our multi-city area, so if one or the other state does enact a full blown ban, the area will not feel the impact. Of course they'll feel the impact, this is ND, everyone drives everywhere, and driving for 5 - 10 minutes to a smaller town outside the ban area is not a detterent.
I play in several poker leagues around here, want to guess which ones have the highest turnouts? It's not the "big city bars", but the local establishments in a ten - 20 mile radius, they still allow smoking, imagine that, a town of less than 1600, pulls in over 100 regular customers on their league nights, while in the community of close to 100,000, the local bars only get 20 - 80 participants, with closer access, more prizes laid out by the tavern owners, and lots more advertising, they still can't compete with full access smoking unrestricted small town bars, imagine that.

Hey, don't be lumping Temple football with chess now! Often there's a side room for analysis of the first-board game, with a bunch of other interesting positions on other boards, and the analysis can take a few hours to follow online, even with a GUI board.
And in 5 minute chess the action is pretty intense.
Still, 9 out of 10 ain't bad. But I propose another (biased) 3). Read, or re-read, all the irresponsible press reports of 30 minutes/seconds/whatever of SHS exposure causing irreversible damage.

Hey curlings pretty good, especially when you can make 6 figures income in Canada in any sport; that isn't hockey! lol Yeap there's some that got the tournament of hearts, and they are now live on the rock (Newdoundland) touting the benefits of some endorsement product.
I just wish they would bring back playing in the rivers like they use to. It was alot more fun when you could had the handy cap of submersion of rock! lol (just kidding) Won't want people still beleiveing we live with 100 caribou in my back yard, for the farm, either.
Its good to see that someone is putting a seperation between risk and actual harm. In Ontario the sister oganization to the NGO Nonsmokers Rights association. The Executive director during the Sean Penn incident in Toronto said "that if no one pursues Penn for lighting up, "it trivializes the law."
"It would be over the top to make comparisons, but if basketball stars commit assault outside a bar, law-enforcement officials do not hesitate to lay charges," Mahood said in an interview. "Given that second-hand smoke is a toxic substance . . . my reaction is, it warrants a charge." (charge being $305 ticket)
Thats the bonus of being Canadian you get to hear rhetoric straight from the people who make over $400,00 a year from my taxes; ignore the same coming from the from health minister (industry of death). Yippee!

I suspect that McCallum wasn't asked (in the deposition) why he waited until the last day of the trial to drastically reduce the amount of a remedy that the DOJ had been requesting for smoking cessation programs.
I think all other lawyers would consider it wrongdoing (i.e. legal malpractice) to drastically reduce their remedy request on the last day of a trial, as doing so screws your the lawyers client (which in McCallum's case was the US Government).

I think it is premature to think there is nothing there... Much of the crucial text has been blacked out, redacted by the judge, until they rule on its future disclosure. Try fitting in the names of Jack Abramoff in there, perhaps Carl Rove, Tom Delay. The Judge sealed the disclosure of this for a reason...There is more to come....A Bombshell...The K Street boys were doing Big Tobacco's bidding and you saw the result in a Civil Trial on behalf of the American people.
Treason...
The WMDs are in/on tobacco yet this administration continues to allow their dispersal without regulation among our civilian population for money...
Treason...
Tobacco...funny money to Abramoff...to WH/Rove...WH orders McCallum...to Torpedo Lawsuit...McCallum tries to torpedo forward remedies, allowed by Circuit Court...Millions Die....Treason

Dr. Lane,
Your anti-tobacco agenda, is only exceeded by your anti-republican position. Obvious is your partisan rhetoric. I have to wonder if you were quite so vocal when Chinese tobacco interests were heavily funding democratic interests promoting lawsuits against domestic cigarette manufacturers, thus giving imports a tremendous retail advantage. Were you call for the advancement of Clinton's treasonist action along with his trusted aid Morris a tobacco lobbyist?
Quite interestingly, if such huge forward looking penalties were assessed, since they wouldn't apply to new tobacco manufacturers, this would dramatically shift the market towards non-msa companies. Further reducing MSA payola to the states AG settlement.
So tell me, Dr. Lane, if tobacco is a WMD, how is it that you can stand behind the legal sale of cigarettes in the first place?

Tobacco sales should and must remain legal so that a health conscious manufacturing process can be implemented to insure tobacco products are as free as possible from fungal mycotoxins and the spores that are producesd on them... In other words remove the WMD component from the product...
These spores and toxins are responsible for most of our cancers and even the syndrome we know as AIDS, produced by a Gliotoxin produced by Aspergillus, on tobacco.
FDA or Court Monitors should be empowered to effect this technology. This is in place for peanuts which are regularly contaminated with aflatoxin. Peanut farmers achieve a 90% reduction in toxin levels annually compounded. I have patents to this end, and yes, I do expect to be paid someday... They date to 2000. Google "tobacco aflatoxin".
Judge Kessler has stated in an Injunction..."Stop lying about the health effects of tobacco"...
I suspects she knows more than you think....An injunction has been issued...What do you think she will do when she drops the other shoe?...What do judges do when their injunctions are ignored?...

Dr. Lane,
Thank you for clarifying your position, and eliminating much of the partisan rhetoric. I also appreciate your concerns for aflatoxins, and I'm deeply concerned very few in tobacco control even give this much attention. I don't agree with you that FDA regulation is necessary to control aflatoxins in tobacco products, as this could be accomplished through USDA regulation today. I would like to see some regulation in these regards.
It is my opinion that tobacco control does not want to reduce the dangers within tobacco products, and has downplayed much of your research. The tobacco industry as also avoided such comments. I believe there was some work done on this within Canada with curing, but was later abandoned. Perhaps one of our Canadian friends could add to these comments.

Dr Lane,do you happen to be the person who made strenuous efforts to suggest that the 400,000 deaths or whatever the figure is quoted as being are all as a result of aflotoxin poisoning?I struggle to remember the name,but it will come back to me,something greek diogenes i think it was.This occured a while ago but upon further examination the aflotoxin content of tobacco appears to be regulated and monitored quite well as i read.

As si mentioned, there was a small discussion here on this subject. The question I never saw answered was, Has anybody (you for instance) ever bought a pack of cigarettes at the corner store and put it under a microscope and found any of this stuff?
(Typed while munching on peanuts-LOL)
