I agree with you about the idiots in Delaware government. But your own words make your stance on the smoking ban even more confusing to me.

I would think that as a business owner hurt by the over controlling government you would be on the side of the small businesses being hurt by the smoking ban.

As I said, I have nothing against your desire for smoke-free venues. What I don't understand, is your apparent support of more business-unfriendly government mandates against others. A lot of these people do not have the option of closing up and moving else where as you did. And many of them are long time friends and so it pains me to see them being financially impacted by people who would never have set foot in their establishments to begin with.

I have finished paying property taxes in Delaware, but because I didn't move to Virginia until the spring I'm going to have a hefty tax return to file in Delaware for this year. For both income and the sale of my Dover home. But after calling Kent County home for more than 20 years it is rather hard to just walk away from many of the things I was involved in over the years, so I am there on a frequent basis.

If you're ever going to be down Rte 13 in Accomac County drop me a FReepmail. We can grab lunch in Pizza Hut, as it's the only totally non-smoking restaurant I am aware of in the area (except foro fast food joints). I'm sure there are others, I just haven't been in them as they tend to be more along the lines of "family" restaurants and I prefer to have a glass of wine or a beer when I am out for a meal. Most (not all) of the restaurants around here have smoking and non-smoking sections, the smoking sections generally being twice the size of non-smoking even in the more upscale places.
