I am the king!



I'm a Lion!

For you, simplicity is the name of the game -

even your fur is uncomplicated. You're always looking for

an opportunity to relax, and you shy away from anything

that seems to be more than you can handle. Still, you can

really do whatever you want... After all, you're a lion!

Found this while doing pointless google searching. Very interesting and strange. It reminds of the weird things you'd find on the web back in '96.

Well, the foundation is laid and the loan approved. Guess there's no turning back.

Everytime I try to get out, they pull me back in...



I left Cali because the idiots were driving the place into the ground. The nice thing about a federalist system is if the going gets tough, you can move accross the street. But now it seems like all the cool things about AZ that attracted me are being thrown out the window in an attempt to become "Eastern California".

Case in point: Unity a key to smoking laws . Seems Tempe has lost over 20% of their tax from Taverns. Hmmmm....of course, there are other issues, like a declining economy and...ummm....the economy is bad. Anyway, no one really knows why, but they do know that they need to pass a valley wide smoking ban to "keep cutthroat competition to a minimum". God forbid that customers are given the experience they want when they go out to spend money. I mean "if, for example, Peoria were to go solo and ban smoking in eateries and bars, there'd be an exodus of smokers to Glendale facilities. Business would be hurt. The tax base would be hurt. And Peoria services could be affected."

Except, of course, for Glendale facilities that let the customer and the business owner work out arrangements for themselves. Those people will prosper.

I've always held that if there was a real desire for non-smoking bars, bars that banned smoking would pop up, sans silly laws. Despite those silly laws, there will continue to be bars that dismiss the law and will continue to allow smoking anyway to keep their patrons happy, like a good business should.

When cigatettes are outlawed, only outlaws will smoke. --------
