Unbelievable!
I thought the reason for banning smoking in enclosed spaces was because of all the nasty litte "critters" that were left in the smoke.Now you can't smoke in a park.What's the rationale now?
Every smoker in SF should have a weekly "smoke-in" at the parks. They do it once a year in Boston for the marijuana crowd and that's an illegal activity.
Madness,absolute madness.Civil disobedience is in order here.
Great idea, because now in San Fran the tobacco smoking is the illegal activity :(
You know, I've always been something of a goody-two-shoes (with the puzzling exception of my terrible smoking habit, hee hee), but the idea of a smoke-in has got some appeal to me. I am sick and tired of watching these guys (liberals, and people too lazy to do anything but go with the flow) get away with this incrementalism.
The SC is going to hell in a handbasket, and it's a cancer spreading to the rest of the government. Federal, state and local. When the little guys see the big guys getting away with stuff, they just hitch their wagons to it, and away we go. (Precedent-the sneaky, backdoor friend of pols everywhere...not just the ones in black robes)
I am sick of being pressured into eating healthier (no trans-fat versions of favorite products), exercising more, and quitting smoking. If I want to be a chain-smoking fat slob couch potato, that ought to be my choice. By the same token, I don't believe my fellow citizens should be forced to subsidize that lifestyle, either. If I make crappy lifestyle choices, then I ought to pay for them (literally and figuratively).
I swear, if ONE PERSON pipes up about the so-called "dangers of second-hand smoke", I think I'll scream.
Rant off.
