What?! You mean they believe in personal responsibility?
What did they do, go back in time a hundred years to get these judges?

I'm surprised. The SCOFLAW is one of the most activist liberal supreme courts in the country. How did they do that? Common sense in Tallahassee? You don't say!

What, too low? in China we have freedom. In American I do not like tell other people how to live. Here seems can do nothing. Only thing in America is stand on the corner with a sign that say no Kerry or no Bush. But that get? Only people who want to tell you how to live in your daily live.
We see this in China before when student tell woman they can not have high heel shoes or make them cut their fancy hair doo before they can get on the train. America same. No freedom and it scare me because I believe national song about land of free.

I'm waiting for the news that there is a class action suit against the federal government, John Does 1 through 3450, for simultaneously screaming at us that second hand smoke and particularly cigarettes are the greatest danger to humanity, yet failing to ban the product that contributes more deaths than natural disasters do!

FWIW, I thought the tobacco lawsuit brought by the state AGs was legalized extortion.
I just can't believe SCOFLAW feels the same way. So I'll wait 'til we've trusted but verified :)

Yes, you are noting a problem that has concerned many of us for quite some time - America is full of busybodies. We call them "nannys."

It's about damn time. I personally believe people should be accountable for their actions. Nobody makes them smoke, just like nobody makes people drink too much. Just a bunch of lawyers getting rich off the backs of other people.

Better check the weather in Hell. Must be getting colder?........ And the New York Supremes voted against gay marriage. Hell has become a colder place.
