Yep, I am anti-smoking in public. That exactly right.

And you know what, there's nothing wrong with it and it doesn't mean I want the government to control how I live. I am also anti-abortion, against gay marriage, and against spending money on groups that sponsor terror. Is it wrong to want the government to do something about those things?

I am for the government spraying insecticides to keep the mosquito population down because I hate mosquitoes and I don't mind the spray they use to kill them.

I also like animals and fruits that have been pumped full of steroids and chemical because they are juicier, they taste great, and they last longer in storage.

I love Football, baseball, and basketball but I would vote for a Constitutional Amendment that would ban NASCAR and Bowling from ever being broadcast!

I support our military and I would give a medal to the Marine who shot the "wounded" terrorist in the head the other day. Even though I support the military, I don't think the soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison acted like soldiers should and I would hold them accountable for their actions.

I have more opinions but I know you're getting tired of reading this crap. All of these are MY OPINIONS, that's all they are.

I am just as entitled to my opinion as you are to yours. To us non-smoker you smokers STINK. You REEK of smoke and it's okay that you want to live that. It's your life. Just don't try to tell us that we aren't entitled to our own views on the matter. We can throw facts back and forth at each other all day long and we'd never get anything accomplished.

What's really telling is that I have openly admitted that you have every right to smoke but you have never once been able to say that it's alright to not want to be around smokers.

Have a good one. I am going to try to do 5 minutes of work before I go home.

What's really telling is that you have admitted that you would use the force of govt to strip a property owner of their rights.
The rest of that diatribe has nothing to do with the subject under discussion.

So if the majority says it's illegal to own ANY projectile weapon, you're OK with that WITHOUT amending the constitution.

It's perfectly all right for you to not want to be around people that smoke. As long as you don't try to use the force of govt to strip anothers rights with no evidence to prove that it's necessary.

You can belittle me all you want for my smoking.  But don't you DARE say anything about NASCAR!  I LOVE NASCAR racing!

REEK?  I'll have you know I do not REEK.  There is such a thing as personal hygiene, don't you know?

When a person has a good hygiene regimen, there is NO REEKING thank you!  When I go to my Doctor for check-ups, he never even mentions smoking because he can't even smell it on me.  So there!
