You would be surprised! The Governor of New York is a RINO. Patakli? And his side kick Bloomberg, both RINO's and they both pushed for the smoking ban in the whole state.
Pretty bad when our own side turns against us.
I agree with you, but far too many people have fallen for the hype, and even those that know society is not endangered by smoking now not only accept, but embrace the government control over it because of "the smell."
Tell them to invest in the big smoke eaters. Pulls the smell out. They are great. Well worth the investment.
"The maximum fine for the first violation is $100, and $200 for the second. But county and city officials said they are no longer going into taverns looking for violators -- unless they first receive complaints."
Worried that someone might smack them in the beak?
I wouldn't doubt it. I don't think the anti's are as vocal in a real bar like they are in Free Republic. heh!
ROFL!!!!!
It got to the point we could spot the "smoke police" in a heartbeat in the bars in Delaware. They would come into a place that served a minimum amount of food, sit at the bar (not a table) order a cup of soup and a glass of water.
It was actually very funny, because most of them never got the hint the rest of us were making fun of them. Those that did figure it out learned to not come back.
It's time for some of the unidentified, indigenous personnel to take these ole' boys out behind the woodshed.
Wouldn't surprise me if it happened.........more than once :)
Hi, Ladies! Guess what just happened? I got a phonecall from "Smoke Free Fitchburg" a few minutes ago. They're canvasing to see if people in the area want the entire city to go smoke-free.
They're coming over the hill! Fitchburg is one of the towns booming due to the Madison Smoking Ban.
Of course, I educated the little Smoke Gnatzi at the other end of the line about personal property rights; I'm sure she hung on my every word. Not. *Rolleyes*
Right on, Bro. I do like your thinking. This is the kind of law enforcement we need to prevent people from doing something
that may possibly harm themselves.
Bless your heart.........I guess you're going to be getting another phone call tomorrow
to get all the dirt :)
You forgot the tear gas.
Thanks for the ping!
