If another bill comes along, that will be about what it is about.

I used to think that too until I started seeing all these regulations stripping rights away from business owners and home owners.

These regulations are connected, it’s Nanny-statism, it’s neo-communism.

From Kelo to banning trans-fat - it’s a loss of freedom.

How can you call smoking bans an infringement on property rights when it is the restaurant owners themselves that support statewide smoking bans.

For example even in the Great State of Texas the Texas Restaurant Association supports a statewide restaurant smoking ban.

There are very few of these types of measures that I agree with. I will admit this one goes against the grain for me as well. In truth, it gauls me to have to sign on to something like this when common courtesy would have resolved the issue at once.
