I did look over the thread but the last time I left a comment there, I said it was my last and I meant it.<br /><br />You can't reason with the reasonless and there is no point offering clues to the clueless. As far as the Flynns and Kay Ties are concerned, their way is the only way and anyone who disagrees is a heretic. <br /><br />Flynn wants cannabis legal and tobacco illegal because in his shrivelled and blinkered mind, the smoke from one leaf contains none of the chemicals of the smoke from another leaf. He hasn't noticed that ASH stands for action on <i>smoking</i> and health. Not tobacco.<br /><br />Tie insists that smokers are selfish for wanting some places to go but she is not selfish for wanting them all. <br /><br />There's no point talking to them. You'd have more luck trying to persuade a tree that it's a bird.<br /><br />Better to talk to smoking and smoker-tolerant voters. Soon we'll include drinking voters and overweight voters and those who like a bag of chips.<br /><br />There aren't that many Flynns and Kay Ties. We can work around them.<br /><br />It'll take time, but talking to them is just wasting time.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357620132379563790.post-20479293772210578602011-01-05T21:56:15.121+00:002011-01-05T21:56:15.121+00:00Agreed.

I did commend Flynn in an earlier post for allowing debate on his blog, but it seems the limit has been reached. <br /><br />On the original comment thread, you will notice he lurks in the background, ignoring direct questions, and only jumping in when he can score a cheap point.Trooper Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505221473081871071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357620132379563790.post-50250840202911935002011-01-05T21:36:34.353+00:002011-01-05T21:36:34.353+00:00I agree with you 100%.

This is a spectator sport - there are plenty of people who skim read these internet debates who haven't made up their minds, and if you show that you are a reasonable and fair minded bloke with a good grasp of the facts and logic, you never know, we might end the day with one more of us and one fewer of them.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.com
