why am i even bothering? let me just ask you one question: do you think that 2nd-hand smoke has adverse effects to non-smokers who inhale it? just answer yes or no if you would please.
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn’t a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
You are completely missing the point. The issue is not one of my right to smoke, or your right to not be around smokers. It is a right of the property owner to cater to the segment of the population that they desire to have as customers. The fact that you miss this important point is what makes you more dangerous than the looney leftist property grabbers.
At least they are honest in their private property destruction. I suppose you are as ambivilent about the Kelo decision too.
