I think it's time for some civil disobedience.

    I should go out there and light up my Stanwell #83 with my McClelland Matured Virginia #25 on the campus and tell them to 'celebrate my diversity' and 'be tolerant' of yet another small minority, the racial makeup of pipe smokers. (Yes, I know pipe smokers aren't a "race", but hey, I'll play the card on them)

    We can comprehend what was written just fine.

    Stopping short of "police state" doesn't make it right.

    The fact is, tobacco is a legal product, legally obtained and legal to use.

    A taxpayer funded university should treat ALL the students equally, and it is not their purview to mandate against legal behavior.

    Of course Liberals like to believe the ends justify the means, hence their position.

    "Lombardi also said he doesn’t want the campus to “become a police state” and that students who refuse to be re-educated wouldn’t be expelled."
    - great reading comprehension there!

    They could refund my tuition when they tried to mandate bullshit like that on me.

    Chilling. This "re-education" net is going to get wider. Fallacies of Vision.

    I'd attend the classes while smoking a big ole cigar.
    Or maybe a pipe. I used to like pipe smoke...

    So much for free choice (and personal accountability for those choices). The reeducation camps are coming.
