We're a republic, not a democracy.

Correct. And as a republic, the state of Delaware enacted the smoking ban along with strong public and commercial support.

Yes, but you were arguing from authority there. Just because a majority support public smoking bans, does not make them good policy.

You mean it is the nanny-state when 89% of the population and the Restaurant Association support a law?

You have no clue what you are talking about when it comes to the Delaware smoking ban - NONE WHATSOEVER.

The truth of the matter is that the only reason it passed when and how it did was a demonRAT double cross on the GOP House majority leader by the retiring RAT Senate pro-tem.

There was no strong public or commercial support for this ban except from the paid out of state antis.

I worked this and I lived this and I lived in Delaware - I know exactly what went on. Please don't make declarative statements about things you don't know about.
