I hate Clemson’s mayor

I’ve never met Larry Abernathy. I’ve never heard him speak. But every time I read things attributed to him I want to kick him in the gonads. Mayor Abernathy has been crusading to making all businesses in Clemson non-smoking. In the process, his words and actions piss me off.

He says the measure is all about improving the community.

“In the long haul, it save [sic] lives, and the bottom line (that’s) what it’s about. We know passive smoke is equally as dangerous as direct smoke,” Abernathy said.

Isn’t that nice. The small town mayor is trying to save ourselves from ourselves. How quaint. It’s all about saving lives, he says. Well does he really believe that? Doubtful, and that’s why he’s a douchebag in my book.

The smoking ban goes into effect July 1. The ordinance also prohibits the use of chewing tobacco, snuff or dip inside any public building or business in the city limits.

Because we all know that passive chewing tobacco, snuff, and dip are so dangerous.

Certain other friends, who will remain nameless, will pee on them in the middle of the night.

Thanks for pointing out that my Copenhagen habit should have no affect on any other person or building or city, town, government - whatever. Besides, I swallow, so I don’t even “litter”.

Long live US Tobacco….keep taxing it folks. It may cost $6.97 in Minnesota, but I get 2 for $5.50 in SC. I love the South.
