yes we are in basic agreement joe.. more expensive wont fly for me.. it might for some..
to be honest i took the view these things will be hit hard by mother one way or another.. hard enough to make them useless for me..
my family has been semi legal Belgium roll up smokers for years.. mainly due to dirty deeds by mother as she attempts to keep her excessive tax revenue.. as members of the european union we are entitled to buy our goods in any member state we choose as long as tax is paid in the source country at source country rate..
mother isnt happy with this.. her agents the customs using tactics verging on out and out piracy wont let us..
mother isnt nice when it suits her not to be.. to quote one famous american..
"its my job to govern.. its your job to make sure i do it properly"..
both the american and uk public gave up doing their job years ago..
interesting how the american constitution got mentioned in this thread..
BBC NEWS | Politics | Call to adopt UK Bill of Rights
the new labour lot will want to add more to the european human rights.. god help us..
the tories want one instead of the european human rights.. which in essence means take away some of our rights while at the same time pretending to give us more.. god help us again.. he he
the bottom line here is the americans lost their constitution the moment their country was declared to be in a "permanent state of war".. we aint far behind..
civil liberties.. hmmm.. not mine and thats for sure.. hidden agendas.. nothing is ever as it seems..
my tactics are simply to fly under mothers radar and hope she has better things to do than chase after me.. it mostly works for me..
the license idea.. if that wont fly nothing will.. i think the turkish comment fits the likely bill..
we have no intention of banning these things we simply want to regulate and make them safe and none addictive.. he he he
but some people will feel the need to fight mother and the medical profession openly on the issue.. all mother cares about is votes.. being as the majority of voters are clueless.. say no more..
mind u i dont mind tilting at the odd windmill.. its a weakness of mine always has been.. don quixote could well have been in my bloodline.. he he
