This is too funny because people are voting for these dumb laws. I mean how dumb can you get. If you didn''t vote for them tuff you should have. Of course you could go for a amendment that would mean if goes nation wide. Thank God Jeffereson and the founding fathers made if really hard to do that or nut jobs like you all would do it every day.

"Arkansas...bans unmarried couples from adopting children or becoming a becoming a foster parent.

Many supporters of Act One argued that children shouldn''t be raised by an unmarried couple, although critics suggested the law was geared primarily toward homosexuals who sought to become foster or adoptive parents."

lolllllll...yes, it is much better to raise children in a cold and heartless institutionalized setting than it is to risk exposing them to the love of parents who might be, "God forbid", homosexuals...

Pretty bad, when a whole state puts gratifying themselves and their adopted belief system ahead of the welfare of innocent children.

cj7jeepstir: You are EXTREMELY IGNORANT.

First Off: The effing government is telling me what to smoke and eat. I say there must be a rebellion against idiots like you.

You have no idea of what you are writing about. You hear a speil and you run with it. That shows ignorance.

grimreap21: If it''s true that Mass legalized MJ...GOOD GOOD GOOD. Help the Marijuana Project! We can get this passed in every state. Maybe people will stop dying from alcohol consumption. MJ is far better.

It''s so cute the way you moralists love to control. If it''s not the crazy religious right SCREAMING that someone is immoral...it''s the LIBs-but only toward the conservatives.

I certainly understand texting while driving could be a hazard...but keep your control freak fingers off my cigs. I''ll decide when to quit. What I do to me should be of no concern to you.

FYI For those who believe the hype of SECOND HAND SMOKE:

DATELINE: March 8, 1998
UK SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
Headline: Passive Smoke Doesn''t Cause Cancer-OFFICIAL
Byline: Victoria MacDonald, Health Correspondent

This statement is by the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION-the most liberal of the health organizations and they say IT AIN''T SO, JOE!

I won''t include the article here, but if you feel so inclined you certainly can GOOGLE it. A debunked FATAL SECOND SMOKING MYTH popped.

This control of our private lives is absolute madness. If the NON-smokers don''t like smoke then let them find their own restaurants. Just effing stay out of the smoke-filled bars and restaurants.

I fail to understand the crazy control. We are going to have to fight back. Someday we''ll get tired of the powerful and controlling telling us what to do...there will have to be a rebellion. And when that happens count me in.

These laws are passed - because so many adults can''t act RESPONSIBLE without being FORCED to do so!
