You are losing it. I never advocated govt. action to restrict smoking in private establishments. I merely suggested that individuals bear the costs associated with their own choices. Therefore, your attempt at sliming me is off target.

But since you tried to confuse things, isn't it interesting that the trailer-park babe giving the thumbs up on the nekkid Iraqis had a cig in her mouth?

I was not attempting to slime anyone...............you were included in the "To:" line out of courtesy since I was poking into a conversation between 2 other posters.

My abject apologies that you miscontrued my attempt at politeness.

Re your post #133.

I take offense at your statement and I'm sure others will agree with me.

Painting with a rather broad brush,aren't you?

Why don't you explain what you find so "interesting?"

And I can easily counter that with "Is is interesting that almost all the leaders of the smoke ban lobby are also gun grabbers.(Robert Woods Johnson Foundation, and any 'public health lobby' for starters)
