Dogs and Drags

1. I don't know if you have heard of a local phenomenon called disc golf. I'm not fully apprised of the "rules," but it apparently involves throwing a Frisbee at trees and/or something attached to trees in local parks. Environmentalists are upset, so the following appeared on TV:

Disc golf appears to be about as much of a sport as hacky sack, marbles, hopscotch or mumblety-peg. Why should we endanger any of the environment for this "sport?" Learn to play real golf, and save the Frisbee to toss to the dog. Dogs like that.

2. (As seen on TV) Should movies which portray smoking receive an R rating?

Movie ratings are an advisory. I appreciate being warned about excessive sex, violence and bad language, but it's kind of refreshing to see movie stars enjoying a smoke. After all. the holier-than-thou have spoiled smoking for the rest of us, even though any fool knows tobacco may be a health hazard.
