Thank you! The vast majority of the population doesn't grasp this. In fact they applauded it (smoking bans everywhere)and continue to do so. Once the Nanny Staters realized how easy it was to get people to give up their rights and freedoms it's been downhill like an avalanche over the past 15 or so years. I honestly hate the weak people who allow themselves to be turned into slaves of the state. The biggest losers are the leftists who claim that Bush is "taking away freedoms". It has been the left that has been doing this and now republicans think it is "good politics" to go along also. I don't know if you read the thread about companies not hiring, or firing people who smoke. Now they are refusing to hire people who are fat, or use alcohol, because of insurance costs. It's going to have to give at some point. People keep talking about a second civil war. I wonder if that is what it will come to. The average American is so pathetic that they would probably welcome police going door to door looking for guns or tobacco or trans fats or computers that have politically incorrect websites on them.
I just got back from Vegas Wednesday night. I can’t tell you folks how nice it was to be around happy adults, doing what adults do. It was nearly heaven. I met so many happy and nice people.
