Very well put
You are now on the shiete list as an anti!
We are all on their list.
The reason I love Rush, besides the fact that he so funny, is that he says you have to "win in the marketplace of ideas" (actual voting). I have no problem with the smokers putting on the ballot referendum and candidates that are for wide open smoking. I just want to be able to defeat them without being called a Nazi or getting into a Socratic argument over: "Is America a democracy or not?"
My experience is that smoking is bad for you. Smoking around kids influences them and probably addicts at least some of them. These smokers are immoral in my opinion if they smoke around kids. I find it disgusting. And I think I should be able to go around the country and not have to smell it. They just can't handle that.
