"Most of my church friends voted for Prop. 5, so I had to ask them why they cared what went on at bars they never go to anyway. They agreed with me, and then said they wanted smoking banned regardless."
The righteous right is as dangerous to our liberty as the loony left. Both want to use the force of government to push their particular morals. Neither is willing to "live and let live." I fear for our once great Republic.

In talking to most of my friends - who are church goers - most Democrats, no matter the denomination, voted for Prop 5. Most conservatives and "Libertarians," be they Catholic, Methodist, or Lutheran, etc. either voted for prop 4 or against both. The Democrat cheat sheet for Ohio advised voters to vote yes on prop 5. Independent conservatives almost unanimously voted against prop 5, where as "moderates" voted for it. Many of my clients are conservative and Catholic, none of them smoke, though a few like myself used to and quit. They all feared the law for the precedent it set. It's all about money, as is Eminent Domain, which is even more dangerous and no one got to vote on.
