I personally like to tell the airlines that I am allergic to peanuts so that they can't serve them on the plane. Sorry for your allergy but, get over it. Or, is it all about you?
I am bothered by people that think their "rights" are more important than mine. I am constantly exposed to these people.
It bothers me too, that when we leave our homes, there is still a certain "group" that think their rights should trump ours. I will never accept this.
When we are out in the public, we are out among the good, the bad, the ugly AND the smokers. At least that's how it should be until the nazi Maine government and board of health got their teeth into the issue.
In my POST # 8, I wrote a detailed account explaining that, altho once a smoker - who understands the addiction - that after finally finding out cig. smoke was what was causing my VERY REAL and debilitating bouts of chronic sinusitis which, at the shortest, lasted 2 weeks, with fevers 105 and penicillin, (doctor's bills) - and having to change jobs and curtail many social/political events pre-bans - You think I should accept these circumstances without complaint because I think it's "all about" me - and that your rights to smoke supersede my right not to be ill, etc.
You said you are "I am bothered by people that think their "rights" are more important than mine. I am constantly exposed to these people"?
On the other hand, my NOT smoking does not make anyone uncomfortable nor ill - your logic doesn't hold water
A person's RIGHTS does not include making someone else ill. Iee., your 'rights' end where my nose begins. Your 'rights' in this matter do not equate
