Another grizzly story, from today: the bear killed a hunter, and was then shot to death by his partner. This happened in Boundary Ct, close to the MT border on Buckhorn Mouhtain. No word yet on the identity of the dead hunter.

See, I don't have a big issue with higher health insurance premiums for smokers...but this makes no sense to me. Next they can refuse to hire overweight people, or those with high blood pressure or high cholesterol, or family history of heart disease or stroke...it is a very slippery slope. Most smokers I know work and lead productive lives into their 50's and 60's and then die "young" with a lot of complications...but no worse than someone who gorges themselves on McD's daily...

Yup...I don't smoke (never have) and I absolutely loathe cigarette smoke but if it's not an illegal substance, I can't see what standing they would have to deny employment to someone.
Personally, I think it's a big attention grab for the new commissioner. I wasn't impressed with some of the nastiness employed by his friends to get him in office and I'm not very impressed with this either.

I do agree that it's a slippery slope.
