    Are you and tim related?  You both seem to have a penchant for
avoiding the substance of discussion and instead selecting a phrase
or subphrase to attack.  If anyone seriously read my article, I believe
that there would be no doubt in their minds what I was trying to say.  And,
for all the points I made, if this is the best you can do, I must have
made quite a few good points.

    Offensive:  I do not deem someone 'offensive' because of inate character-
istics.  Because someone is of a particular race, or religion, or because
something has a characteristic that makes that individual different or unique,
I do NOT belive, nor have I ever (see previous articles on racism/prejudice),
that anyone, or anything should be "discriminated(2)" against.
	I DO believe that a person's ACTIONS are what separates them from
the human race.  I, and MANY others, have repeatedly stated our opinions
about how offensive smoking is to us, and yet smokers continue to light
up, with total disregard for other people.  They seem to believe that their
"right to light" over-rides anyone elses right to clean air.  These people,
because of their ACTIONS, leads me to support anti-smoking laws(in public
places).
