"Just wanted to stop by and thank Bruce for providing
so much of the inspiration for my writings. You've truly
helped build a movement out there to fight smoking bans!
Antismokers are terribly, incredibly, desperately,
HORRIBLY afraid of resistance....and they're in for
some real nightmares in times to come."
