I knew that, as I had on my "pot stirrer" cap. I seem to be wearing it a lot lately.

Re: So wha does this mean for pipe tobacco?

So, the Peretti guys are not yet worried... they figger it'll take a while to figure out what the legislation means (cuz, o' course, Congress has no clue), then the wranglin' will begin, and the lawsuits and lobbying...

That said: I *do* fear encroaching nannyism.

I was watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang last night with the offspring: they noted how dangerous it must have been for the two children in the movie to live in the windmill/laboratory...

I also watched Mel Gibson's "The Patriot," where he encourages his young sons to fire upon (and kill) approaching redcoats...

The times they are a'changin' (or, well, changed, I guess).

The "Nanny-State" IS on the rise, and we're the bad guys.

After all, it's for the children.......

It may or may not be a result of legislation, but I have noticed some brands seem to be out of stock and retailers are not sure when they will be back.

I think some are stocking up in anticipation of the worst...they beat me to it. Of course we will be required to submit an inventory of eveything we own.

Elements of 1984, but p'raps more like Brave New World (in which society itself, not the gummint directly, becomes the conforming force).

And don't forget Harrison Bergeron (for you egalitarians).
