So, just where would smokers eat if all the restaurants are no-smoking allowed?

In one Maryland community, the liberal anti-Smoking Nazis weren't satisfied with smoke-free restaurants. They were going to ban smoking outdoors anywhere within the limits of the town. So for those of you who think coercive liberals plan on stopping at restaurants ... or just with smoking, think again. It's already started with car phones. Next will be donuts or listening to the radio. Don't laugh. WHen liberals run out of causes, they pursue really stupid things - all having coercion in common (e.g. reparations).

There is always a group out there wanting to tell the other group how to live their lives. The public is the public...ALL PEOPLES. I will never understand how the bans got this far. I guess we are guilty of sitting on our hands all these years, letting them have their way.

But, times are a changin, and we are working our butts off trying to stop all the discrimination against smokers, and the Junk Science.

The best thing about that Maryland town trying to ban smoking outdoors is it got done away with - the do gooder who pushed the no smoking outdoors issue was the Mayor who got arrested for child molestation. The Mayor insisted that it would be best that smoking was not permitted anywhere in public, so not to encourage children to engage in the nasty habit.

Yup - the proud anti-smoker "it's for the children" - pleaded guilty to fondling a 14 year old boy in the restroom of the National Cathedral.
