Wasn't that thoughtful of them,making the ban effective July 2004 instead of January 2005 so smokers wouldn't have to go out in the cold and smoke.

Who says the Mass legislature doesn't have a heart?

They say they are "leveling the playing field" but I'll bet the bar and restaurant owners on the NH,VT,and RI state lines are not going to be very happy.

If it is that bad they should ban it outright, wait the tax dollars. never mind. (/s)

At least Mass has a HEART! Maine is starting this all out bar/tavern ban in JANUARY! Bitter cold THEN, let me tell you!

Yea, Level Playing Field. And your right! NH, VT and RI are going to be VERY happy, until that stink rubs off on THEM! I hope their lawmakers have a set and tell the anti's to bug off.

Yes! That's what the one guy said: they will continue to sell cigarettes AND collect the taxes BUT THEY ARE GOING TO TELL US WHERE WE CAN SMOKE.

Nice, eh? Just what I need........Jack Boots telling me how to use a legal product.

So why do you listen? Live on your own land, do your own thing. I don't need a restraunt or bar for dinner - I got cows!

It's sure coming to that! My house is REALLY becoming my castle, and it will be more so come January 1st! As for now, that's the only recreation I have.......going out to dinner. But, oh well. I will adjust, that's for sure.

My house is REALLY becoming my castle

That's the way it's always been for me. Don't like "people" all that much, and would rather pan fry a steak with patatas on the side, than go out and rub elbows with snots who care less for me than their own civil rights......let'm eat cake, or shiite...matters not to me.

Lady, I wish you the best. I really do. Thank you for your service - and that of your husband.

But from my cabin in the woods, I could give a rat's ass what they ban, or don't.

Who cares anymore?

......let'm eat cake, or shiite...matters not to me.

Who cares anymore?

It's getting that way for me, too. Who cares. They will do what they want anyway. We have to make our OWN way in this life!!

Thank you patton!!!

The reason that nursing homes are exempt is there is an inflential Rat state rep who's mother is in a nursing home,and she smokes.

Blow up your TV throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try an find Jesus on your own

I don't understand your reply at all -

I got Jesus. all by myself, in my own little house.

Well, me, my wife, and my three kids.

You need help.

Where did you read this? Did I miss something?

Smiley blinkin' face to you.....YOUR Home IS your Castle!...and the sooner these fascist lawmakers start losing some $$money$$ the better...Do you think Chappy K would be arrested for smoking a cigar somewhere?!...Hell, he didn't get arrested for manslaughter!....Gotta hit'em where it hurts, the $$$backpocket...With hold your taxes till the very last minute, or pay none at all...don't file...if 1,000,000 people did that, these blood suckers would wake up, in a hurry!

Home-made pan fried steak on the woodstove is great...hope you get to experience it some day soon.

I was just commenting on your reply about relying on yourself, not society. John Prine wrote that song about getting out of the rat race. It's a cute little whimsical tune, but still serious in it's own sort of way.

Well they are or will be coming for you too
