That one's the best one yet!!!
Here's a Freeper link and more ammo for you to use against people who think democratic mob rule is a great idea. It's quite good. Here's a sample -
Samuel Adams, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, championed the new Constitution in his state precisely because it would not create a democracy. "Democracy never lasts long," he noted. "It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself." He insisted, "There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide."
New York's Alexander Hamilton, in a June 21, 1788 speech urging ratification of the Constitution in his state, thundered: "It has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity."

Thank you. I will do a google search on it later! :)
I don't see a democratic vote in this article, do you?
YEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!You deliver like no other!!!!!!
No, it's only idiot legislators caving into the wishes of the democratic mob while ignoring the rule of law establishing individual liberty and private property rights. Anytime you ignore law to carry out the demands of a majority it's still mob rule, even if it's hidden behind the skirts of cowardly legislators.
Love, love, feels like a ball and chain, what a fool to I've been to fall in love again....

I like Aldo Nova, but not as much as Climax Blues Band.
How can the lawmakers ignore law when they write it?
It's another Louisiana smoking ban bill introduced this session.
I see. Maine did that a few years ago with Foster parents.
"You would deduce from "Gabz"'s line of though that children would be healthier if they had a tobacco smoke producing machine in their bedroom."
Her comments say no such thing, but don't hesitate to continue down your decietful path. BTW, when you talk about another FReeper, it is polite to ping them to the comments.
"Her comments say no such thing, but don't hesitate to continue down your decietful path."
I don't think they're going to get that message. It doesn't fit into the agenda.
Unless you are an illegal, then you can smoke all you want. After all, American laws dont really mean anything do they?
That's right. And that's another lie the anti's are throwing out there about smokers. Telling the world that smokers who is increasing the cost of healthcare.
That burns me up! The cost of HEALTH care going up is due to all the damn illegals that we have to pay for when they enter our hospital system. It's a lot easier to just blame everything on smokers then it is to actually admit the truth!
I don't hold nannies responsible for this kind of crap anymore. I hold the smokers who continue to spend money at nonsmoking establishments after the bans responsible. If they ban it in your area, don't solicit the businesses. A 25% drop in business will end a smoking ban in any area.
