Here is a copy of a letter the appeared in
The Daily Times today. After reading this I felt that I needed to share this with you… Why because it is true. I wish I would have copied the letter I seen the otehr day where Tennessee has 10 agents working the borders to make sure you do not bring in smokes from other states. The figures were funny as hell. They pay these enforcement guys more money in a month then what they get for busting people because they have only caught a handful.
But anyway because I am a smoker and I used to live in backwoods Tennessee this letter really seemed to hit home. I thought it was funny as hell and I say kudos to the author for speaking his mind. I truly wish more people would speak up about freedom because before you know it and realize it just about all your freedoms will be gone because we are turning into a police country. Anyhow enough of my rambling for now as i don’t want to steal the limelight away from the author of the following letter:
