The Selbins really need to be made an example of. They need to a.) lose the case and b.) have to pay for it all.
Talk about crappy neighbors.

Listen, you have to give adults a place where they can be adults. You don’t have to have every place, do you? Enough already. There’s room for most of us to be happy.

“Restaurants, while in public, are privately owned and it should be the decision of the owner whether to allow smoking, not the government’s. Potential customers can decide whether they want to eat there or not.”
Wish more thinking adults saw it that way.

You’d love it here in Ohio where even PRIVATE CLUBS ARE ILLEAGAL. There’s also a sign posted at every public facility with a phone number to the State for reporting your fellow citizen.

It has nothing to do with happiness, adulthood, health or even smoke.
It has to do with power and control.

The point was, the “superlawyer” power couple threatened to ruin the lady just by suing her to death, pointing out that they could do this for free on their own time.
A$$holes like that deserve to be (redacted).

Indeed. I was in a store yesterday. I heard two ladies talking about the no-smoking law here in Ohio. They got what they wanted and they're STILL WHINING AND COMPLAINING like children. I said to them cheerfully, “I'll be in Vegas next month, and I can't wait. My husband will actually be allowed to enjoy a cigar with his adult beverage with other like-minded adults.” It shut them right up.

So you think it’s OK to tell someone who OWNS a restaurant how to run his business? I don’t like smoke, so I would eat in a non-smoking restaurant, but there are people who enjoy smoking. It should be left up to the business owner whether to allow smoking, not the nanny state.

I call ‘em, “Tobaccophobics,” and enjoy watching their seizures when I walk around an indoor mall with an unlit cigarette in my mouth.

Sheesh! Do you also have to love Big Brother? Next, people will be conditioned to chant, "The State is mother, the State is father, all hail the State."

Partner, huh? Even the partners that I work with wouldn’t do this (at least I don’t think so). And I thought Sir Eric and I were nerds.

Why doesn't Selbin threaten to sue trucking firms and the NYC transit authority for spewing poisonous diesel smoke?
He is threatening dire consequences against a mouse while ignoring the buffalo stampede outside his window.
Big tough guy, he is.

He attended Harvard, I see. At least the Harvard grad partners that I work with have a little class.
