No, you're wrong. I suspect they have issues with Elitists who believe a person's value is in direct proportion to the size of his house, or price of his car, or the size of his boat, or the amount of control he can have over other people's lives. "

Works both ways. There are a lot of people on this board that think people that make money and have things are either lucky or cheats. I personnally know lots of very rich people and nearly all work their a$$es off.

As far as smoking, I think 1) people have the right to organize, follow due process and then regulate it any way they choose or can figure out. 2) people that smoke typically have a horrible chemical addiction that makes them irrational defending the addiction. The feel under personal assault because the thing they cannot live without is being challenged. It has to be very scary. We should not argue with them but pray they can overcome their addiction.

You said it well. I will pray for them right up to the poiint their smoke infiltrates my space in a noxious way. I am not talking about the smell in the morning when my neighbor smokes his cig on his deck, it only lasts 10 minutes. I am not talking about walking thru the air in some places where people smoke. I would quit praying when I lived in a condo where nuisances were forbidden and the smoke came in all day.

Addiction???? Gosh, one would think you were talking about pot, meth and coke.

Will you pray for those addicted to Pepsi as well?

How about praying for those that are addicted to the gym and running 10 miles a day!

All "kinds" of addictions, you know!
