In addition to sending police officers and air-control inspectors to look for offending businesses, the city has also set up a hot line for residents to report those flicking their ashes at the ordinance. Being good little serfs and boot lickers will get you everywhere.

The leftists are proud of CA. Why not make that our no smoke state and allow them to pile on their accomplishments?

The leftists are proud of CA.I guess that is why the Libertarians come to CA to recruit new members.

" Ford stands by his push to ban indoor smoking in public places, arguing it's unfair to expose others to secondhand smoke." Mr. Ford needs his ass kicked.
Just a suggestion, anyway.

Blowing smoke in people's faces and other obnoxious practices only help further the anti-smoking nazi's agenda. You're right, of course, but I'd still love to go to NYC and blow smoke in Mayor Bloomberg's face. Just for the sheer fun of it.

Who won the race to the phone: minnie or cinnie?My guess is that its the restaurant owners. You haven't figured out that the major thrust behind these bans are the restaurants themselves, have you ?

The restaurants in every area have been against these bans until some sort of partial ban is passed, then the political meatballs that run the Restaurant Associations start crying for "a level playing field."
Don't these dumbbells realize that when you play ball with the gub'mint, they stick the bat up your a$$?

Your statement:
I guess that is why the Libertarians come to CA to recruit new members.
The syntax (as opposed to sin tax) of your statement is incorrect if you do not live in CA.
So you either have recently moved from FL to CA or are challenged in your ability to properly structure a sentence.
If you still live in FL, the proper way to have written that sentence would be:
I guess that is why the Libertarians go to CA to recruit new members.

I saw this place featured on "Best Of" on the FoodNetwork. It looked like a great fun place to eat, and yes, the M.A.S.H. character sort of put the place on the map, even mentioning it in one or more M.A.S.H. episodes.
The signed hotdogs are made of plastic, including the bun.

You haven't figured out that the major thrust behind these bans are the restaurants themselves, Have you sat down with any of the restaurant owners who have changed their positions about these bans to find out why they now support them?
I may be wrong, but I seriously doubt you have.
I have.
It's not so much the individual restaurants, particularly the small independent ones, that are backing these bans, but the restaurant associations and the chain restaurants.
The associations because they are being bribed with contributions from the proponents of the bans and the chains because they can afford to take the hit when business drops. The chains just sit back and wait until the independents have to shut down and then they have the monopoly in the community.
Years ago, when these proposals first started surfacing, they may have been based on health concerns - but now it is only money and control.
