Wonder when the FDA will get around to regulating that to oblivion and back?Fortunately that incident occurred in Germany. Not that it's a fortunate situation, just that it didn't happen here in the U.S.Many air freaheners will do that. It's usually the propellant that is flammable (in the case of spray air fresheners).Sent from my heart using the Vapor Talk App. OK...OK...I'm kidding. I have no heart.

There is a reason he earned the nickname "Governor Moonbeam". The scary part is that even though he did some wacky stuff the first time he was governor (which was before my time), the people of this state elected him again when the state changed the term limit law a few years ago which created a loophole that allowed him to run again. Then they RE-elected him. 6 years, 5 months, 2 weeks to go until I retire (not that I'm counting) and I can get the heck out of Dodge (this wacky state). Texas...here I come. The wife may or may not join me. That's entirely up to her. Edited September 23, 2016 by Adversarious1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Now, California wants to tax soda at 1cent per ounce. Of course it's all tied in with fighting obesity and diabetes. Can you imagine the $$ they will rake in on this? I've got no problems fighting obesity and diabetes - I do it the old fashioned way - you educate your kids and you limit there intake. It's a treat, not a staple. BUT, just like cigarette taxes, I expect no more that 13% of this money to go anywhere near the problems of obesity and diabetes. Just like the cigarette taxes, 87% of this money will go to the general fund to be done with as they please. How does this qualify as not being taxation without representation? Not to mention a deeper slip into the already overbearing nanny state mentality that leads to one outcome: civil unrest and disobedience - at least in their eyes. One of these days, the straw breaks the camel's back. It's crippling and disgusting. It's a shame such a beautiful state that geographically is one of the best places to live in the world, imo, is slowly rolling over and baring her underbelly to ruthless criminals intent on destroying her. :End rant: Good morning!

Nix 56, right Bebop? Proposed tax reason (according to the supporters) - to discourage smoking. Real reason - We shamelessly mismanage the budget on programs that have been proven to fail, so we are going tax people in order to refill our coffers so we can continue to shamelessly mismanage the budget. We'll do it under the pretense of advancing a "tobacco free" California and tell the people lies that the money will go to smoking cessation programs. Bold faced lies. I've read the tax initiative. The commercials in this state that are against the tax are telling the truth that the 87% of the money will go to insurance companies and into the general fund. 9 minutes ago, FXRich said: Anyone here heard of the State of Jefferson, kind of a whacky idea, but starting to look better all the time. Not as whacky as the idea of "Six Californias", which is another proposed idea. The best part of the Six Californias idea is that South California would include the 5 arguably most conservative counties in this state: San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, San Diego and Imperial Counties. L.A. County would be lumped in with "West California". Bebop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
