Yes, but the law is the law. Do you decide to obey some laws and NOT obey others just because you don't like them? That sounds like a liberal attitude.
BTW, this was originally passed in Omaha about 6 years ago. It was passed just before an election and was passed along with a "living wage" Ordinance. The election came around 2 or 3 months later and all but ONE of the people who voted for them were bounced out of office. The new Councilmembers (or Clown-cilmembers as I like to call them) immediately reversed both the smoking ban and the living wage ordinance.
It looks to me like the present people have forgotten how they got in office (one problem is that the anti-smoking people have been blowing in their ears for 6 years and the rest of the people have been silent) and/or they hope that people will forget how they voted in two years (my guess is that they are probably right on that).
Yes, I rarely wear a seat belt, for instance.
That sounds like a liberal attitude
Au contraire, foolish people pass foolish laws. Blind obedience to stupid laws is dangerous to the Republic.
And encouraging citizens to rat on each other is profoundly dangerous.
