Ok Right now the nonsmoking clerk we will call Martha works for Sears has a right to work in a nonsmoking environment. Her sister Mary on the other hand is a trained waitress who works for Smokey Bar and Grill, one of two restaurants in town who both allow smoking. Why does Martha have a government protected right to work in a nonsmoking environment while poor Mary isn't allowed the same priviledge ?

You really don't see the evil you support do you? WHY does Martha have a government protected right? Sears has every right to prohibit smoking, but you don't see the government imposition if they tell Sears they have to prohibit smoking. Then you seem to be upset because the restaurant is not forced by government to prohibit smoking. AGAIN, the owner of a business should not be forced to prohibit smoking in their own establishment.

Let's get it simple. One bar allows smoking. Across the street is another bar that prohibits smoking. Customers actually have the freedom(hope that word doesn't scare you) to go to either bar. No Rob Reiner, Maxine Waters, Ted Kennedy, or any other of your friends telling the owners how to run their business. No government controls. That's almost like the America I grew up in.

That is why this attack on smokers will work.

ATTACK on smokers? Your words and yet you don't see your left leaning ways. You may not have seen my previous posts, but I quit smoking. I had similar email debate with Wayne Lapierre of NRA over Charlton Heston's support of prop 10 in CA years ago. He said that support had nothing to do with NRA and when I asked if the NRA would protest a tax proposal on guns, he admitted that they would fight that. Prop 10 just barely passed and within a few weeks, Chicago passed taxes on guns. Shortly after that, Heston said he wished he had not supported prop 10 with "Meathead" Reiner because he saw where it was leading. Now, I would say that if a proposition were proposed to make tobacco illegal, Rob Reiner and all of these liberals would oppose it. How about you?
