We need to reverse this disturbing trend towards banning tobacco. Regardless of whether you smoke or not (I don't), you should still care about preserving freedom from misguided people. However good their intentions may be.

So people with AIDS shouldn't be required to disclose with whom they have have had sex?

In this case, only a charge of voluntary manslaughter is appropriate

There is absolutely no comparison.  How can you even equate the two?  You are way off base with that question.

Just what I was thinking. When it comes to one of the greatest killers, AIDS, the AIDS carrier **rules**.

People with AIDS are harming other people by having sex with them. Tobacco smoke only hurts the person that's doing it (SECOND-HAND SMOKE IS A MYTH, OK?)

Who says I'm equating the two? The headline for this thread says, "Liberty cannot be sacrificed in the name of public health,". All I did was point out the absurd case of the liberty of HIV+ people being infinitely more important than protecting their past or future sex partners.

It is ridiculous to equate cigarette smoking to aids, agreed.

No.

Thank You.

You fight the good fight.

Sometimes, I'm just too dry.

Need to work on that.

Sorry.

I didn't express myself too well.
