KHIK

By Terry Gray

I am a smoker.  I shouldn’t smoke.  I do it anyway.  It is my right.  I take my chances.

KHIK is a socialist/demon-crat lobbyist group.  KHIK wants to make money from my smoking.  KHIK disguises its moneygrabbing scheme by saying it is for my health and the “health of the children”.

My health is my business.  Children’s wellness is the business of their parents.  Don’t try to save me.

If KHIK had a commercial that said, “Teach your child not to smoke.  ‘KHIK’ your child’s ass if you catch your child smoking,” then I would gladly support them.  But they don’t teach parental responsibility.  They teach taking away freedoms from others or taxing those freedoms.  They are spurting out little socialist/demon-crats and raising them to disrespect the freedoms of others.

Should a tax increase on cigarettes be passed in Kentucky, I will take several actions and I encourage other smokers and non-smokers concerned with individual freedoms to do likewise.  I will do what I can to keep KHIK from getting any money from us.  No organization that attempts to deny the rights of others to make a buck deserves to operate in this state or any other.  When school kids approach me selling “things” to sponsor school events, I will tell them that I already gave, and continue to give.  They will get no money from me.  I will attend no school functions that cost me money.  At no time will I do anything to further fund the coffers of socialist/demon-crats in the name of, “The Children”.

If you are at all interested in preserving and promoting your personal rights, you will not support KHIK.  You will write your representatives.  You will not give money to kids soliciting funds for anything.

Along the same lines, if there ever is a time when this city decides to ban smoking in bars, restaurants, or other establishments, I will open one of those types of establishments and encourage smoking.  The government has no business in private business.  If you are offended by smoking in a bar, maybe you should buy your liquor and go home, or find another bar.  The same holds true for any establishment.  Just quit telling me what to do.
