[FRIAM] Getting You Libertarians' Goats

[Frank Wimberly]

My 56 year-old daughter smokes cigarettes.  She is the head Latin teacher
at an elite boarding school in upstate New York.  I ask her why she smokes
and I point out that most Latin teachers don't.  It may be classist but it
seems to me that very few professionals smoke.  She says, "Believe me, I
know".  Since most places make you go outside to smoke she meets all the
smokers.  So, this unhealthy activity leads to mixing.  Unless she's the
only teacher who smokes, which is possible.
