Most, anyway. :-) And we know what's really important: it's not who you are or what you say, it's if you can spell! And use it's correctly! We want form! (no content) There hasn't been a mindless grammar war in weeks! What's wrong with us people! (Green write rings?) If smokers our fired, then they won't be able to affords cigaretts! The tobbacco industry will fale! Every body will be on welfair! Allready we have crule, hartless segregation in restorants, airplains (smokers have to sit in the back), adn nursery schools! Well take away there right to work, then take away their write to vote, and you know whats next: slavery--if you want two smoke you have to work on the planatation and pick it yourself! For no pay!
