Yeah, guess so.

Next will be the banning of "overweight people", to be followed immediately by people who just aren't cute enough.  Man, and they call us nazi's.

Those who think socialist incrimentalism isn't a valid concern.

Think again.

Who in their right mind 20 years ago would have thought anybody, city or state would ban outside smoking would have been considered a little on the wacko side

Yeah, they preach about rights and sensitivities, yet they try to take them away in the next breath.

Thankfully they are around to tell me how to live or I'd just screw the whole thing up.

Can't smoke inside. Can't smoke outside. What are they going to do when people stop buying cigarettes and their (tax) revenue stream dries up??

I don't like to be around smokers. Personally, I think--are you ready for this?--smokers really need help.

But I also believe that every smoker in SF ought to gather down on Market and Van Ness and light up, then dare the
local authorities to do something about it. I'd even go down and stand with them, coughing and hacking, I admit.

Those who think socialist incrimentalism isn't a valid concern. Think again.

Not trying to be sexist here, but all of these socialist ideas and nostrums have been getting traction since women have achieved equality, or near-equality, in public life -- and most of them seem to have women as their chief adherents and spokespeople. I'm genuinely curious: what is it about socialism that seems to appeal to this vast swath of women (our hyper-intelligent, stunning and witty FReeper women excluded, of course)? 'Tis a puzzlement to me (channeling Yul Brynner). Does freedom of the individual in American society mean nothing to them? Is it a matter of, "Now that I've got mine, I'm going to get rid of some of yours"?

Thank you in advance for enlightening me.

Yeah, they don't like people who won't follow them mindlessly.

I am also a middle aged, above average income, white, male, Catholic, Patriotic, Conservate Right Wing Republican who doesn't hate smokers ...

Therefore, to them I am the enemy.

They just like the idea of government as Big Daddy, always taking care of them.

"That's an outrage,'' Alioto-Pier said, adding that she had written Yomi Agunbiade, the department's acting general manager, a letter about the issue. "They're supposed to be implementing this next week. It's wholly irresponsible. "

No madame supervisor - what is an outrage and totally irresponsible is the fact you introduced this idiocy in the first place .............
