TWO KANSAS CITY SAILORS: JUNE 1960
Please note the new recruits who had just arrived to begin their basic training. Frozen forever in time in line still in their civilian clothing in the background.
Smoking, back then, was not an issue, just an accepted joy of being an American. America has changed; it is slowly changing as our freedoms are being robbed by brainless robots who sit in cubicles thinking of new bans and regulations they can force upon us. The sad part of this scenario is that too many of our elected representatives and officials nod their heads in agreement.
As long as they get their benefits and are able to get in on the first tier of corporate benefits, they will continue nodding, caring less for the freedoms of the common man and woman. You know, smoking is really a shallow issue, however, it is an issue and that it is disregarded is symbolic of all pursuits of happiness that each of us have, though most are different in that smoking is not necessarily an issue.
I use the smoking issue as a basic symbol of our basic freedoms beng restricted through bureaucratic B.S. rules and regulations. Nevertheless, the tobacco taxes are received with a glad heart and opened palms.
