It's disgustingly fascist. I remember when California was going through the same thing -- and somehow, one interview with a "pro" smoker's rights made it past all the filters into the media. He was a World War II veteran who opined "We went to war to fight against stuff just like this, I can't believe this is happening."

What's funny about the USA is hearing people claim "It's a free country" this late in the game. I mean, we have federal regulations on what kind of *toilet* we can own. One can only imagine what manner of craziness is coming. And on our dime, too.

And that regulation was passed with broad bipartisan support. For that regulation to become law, free Americans had to vote for their Congressional representation. They had to vote for their US Senate representation. They had to vote for the President. And all of those people then had to draft the law, which was reported on in the press, and passed. And if the people wanted that law changed, they could probably get it changed. It IS a free country. But we, the People, are sometimes our own worst enemy.
