My Family and I are trying to lead according to the principles of liberty, here in New England, where we make our Home. Here Liberty was first established, back in the 1770s. Here, too,I will definitely talk a whole lot, about Rock 'n' Roll and Smoking. But before I get into my s**t, let me tell you something about Myself...
My name is Mike. I am a lawyer here in
Salem, MA, the city in which my family
has been settled since the 1860's. I am
also a rock-music critic, writing for
several "alternative" publications.
My
Dad was a prominent doctor here in town; my
Mom was a star newspaper reporter, later
Women's Editor, at the Record-American in Boston.
I was an only child, educated Which
is not to say that I am the ideal man. I have
many faults, and they get in my way and
in the way of making those I love happy...
I am married to E., the most
wonderful woman in the world. (She smokes...
Smile...) I met E. 25 years ago. Not too
long after that, I was smitten. It took a
while because E. is 12 years younger than
me. When we met I was 33, she 21. Just a
kid... who knew that that "kid" would soon
be my life's love?
E. saved my life. Loving me as she does,
completely and passionately, she has rescued
me from the lonely funk that I had trapped
myself in. Love can do that.
Eleven years ago, 14 years after we met, we got
married. We have had issues galore in our
marriage, most of them my stupidity or worse,
but our love goes on above all of it.
Our life could be quite idyllic.
We work on our 200-year-old Gambrel-roof
house here in town, close to the beach.
We walk to Salem Willows with our dogs,
CeaCee the friendly Rottweiler and Dawg,
9 pounds of furry spit and fire. We swim at
Collins Cove Beach. We dine and drink
fine wine with friends at gourmet restaurants
here in town. We also travel a lot, to faraway
places where the scenery is beautiful, the
eating grand, and the culture profound. (If
you want to see where we travel, click right here)
We have kids, too. E.'s daughter D. lives in
Cali
Our married life would be 100 % terrific,
Fortunately we are rebels. We pursue our own
dreams.
Being a rebel is very American. I am a rebel and
always have been...
Despite the jerks (who in any case are
scarce here in New England) our life would be
idyllic indeed, if it weren't for certain other
impediments that are not rare at all and which
are becoming ever more frequent. I mean the silly
laws and dumb-ass rules placed in our way by the
so-called "authorities" that run this nation. I call
them the "safety police," more accurately
the "safety nazis." Actually the things the
safety nazis do are quite funny, totally
off the wall. Except when one is on the
receiving end. Then it's not so funny. Then
it is a cause for -- a bit of rebellion!
Which is how I come now to talk about
Smoking. As it happens, I don't smoke
cigarettes. I do smoke cigars. When I was
young and about town and still
quite unattached (this was long before I
met E.) I and my dinner pals smoked a
cigar each at every formal meal we ate out
-- the smoke enhanced the fineness of the
food and put a buzz on our conversation!
These days I talk a lot about Smoking Issues.
When I say "Smoking," as often
as not I am saying "The right
to choose your own brand of Danger." | |
Background is of a Woman Doing the "French Smoke Ring Exhale." There is a Message in Acts that are Sexy enough to Trouble Some People. Smoking puckers the mouth. Feels smooth. Gives pleasure to the smoker and his warmblooded lover. No wonder it troubles those who make love to briefcases and bed down with your safety in mind (sure they do...). The authorities go to sleep not wanting you to smoke. and wake up ready to arrest you (and to fine the store owner who sold you the cigs)if you do smoke. They say they are trying to protect your safety. Well what of it? Why is my safety The authorities do not like you or me. They barely
like themselves.
Not everybody who smokes dies Fact is, life is and should be dangerous. Facing
danger adds to the heroism of life. Smoking is only a small emblem of looking life's
dangers directly in the eye. That is what the authorities want you to be! Makes it easier for them to tell you what to do!

about What Happens These Days when You Try to Smoke, I invite you to join me now in an actual instance of what happened one night when my Wife and I decided we wanted to have a Romantic Dinner at a choice Restaurant...
First we try to decide which dining spot
Well O.K. We are not defeated.
Being hungry as two kennel-dogs
That, my friend, is a small example of
And why? Because the Smoking Police say |
don't want to stop at banning you from smoking, you know. Oh no! They want to ban perfumes (they say bottled scents are bad for your health, natch). They want the law to fine you if you eat junk food, use plastics, wear fur, eat meat and fish, spray on insect repellant, even cut your lawn(!!!) -- you name it. What they really want, I sometimes think,
