I share your sentements. But, I also live in a town where people think it's OK to have their kids in the bar area of the restaurant... No kidding, just last week a few of us were commenting on the fact a bunch of people were sitting at the bar with their kids (ages 5-9...with "hat balloons" and everything!)
I find that personally offensive... but I don't think we need a "law" to protect me from my feelings.
That's rediculous! McDonalds is a super place to hold a kids birthday party! No smoking, and I hear they serve up a good apple pie. heh!
