Hey Dave!! If you ask the right people, beer is unsafe. Think of that the next time you want a cold one on a hot summer day!! And make sure you wear your seatbelt and don't eat too much red meat. This is just another example of our government sticking their noses where it doesn't belong. It's amazing we have any senior citizens. How did they ever live to see today without all of these stupid laws to protect them as they were growing up.
I wonder what fire retardant chemicals are being used for these 'safer' cigs. Just ban all cigs. Other 'Unsafe' consumer products are banned.
Why would this surprise anyone along a border town. Back in the day when Minnesota's drinking age was higher than Wisconsin's, everyone from Minnesota came to Wisconsin bars. In Minnesota you can not buy alcohol on Sundays, so they come to Wisconsin. Wisconsin introduce the lottery first, so thousands of Minnesotan's came here to buy lottery tickets. Minnesota bans smoking in bars, so they come to Wisconsin. Minnesota gas prices are cheaper, so Wisconsinites go there for gas. If milk was cheaper in Minnesota, the same thing would happen.
