Be Aware. Political Rant Follows

Good Afternoon Citizens

The Nanny State knocked on my door this morning and left this greeting letter:

The excrement is going to hit the ventilation device. I expect marches on the Office with Torches and Pitchforks this weekend.
In effect quit smoking or find somewhere else to live.

Oh, they're going to be nice about it. 8 months notice, Help with "Change to non-smoking or transition"

"Transition" - Newspeak for "we'll help you find someplace else to live before evicting you."

How in the H E Double Toothpick are they going to enforce this? Weekly searches of our apartments for cigarettes? Electronic sniffing devices they they'll walk around the complex with, looking for smoke. Or are they just going to rely on neighbors ratting out neighbors? Heck they can't /aren't even trying to enforce pick up after your dog...

I'm a lifelong non-smoker (of Tobacco) , and second hand smoke annoys me greatly. But, what's the quote? (I always get it wrong) And then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak up for me.

Next thing you know, they'll remind us that being overweight is not good for you or the community and thus the consumption and importation of all Fast Food is hereby banned from the Apartment Complex too. Cars to be searched at the gate for contraband tacos and fried chicken.

Sheesh!
