I never started calling you the justified name liberal until you asserted that government has the legitimate power to tell people what to do on their private property.

And if they didn't have this power the regulations would be turned over in court. Look, you and i could argue at length what rights we have but the only place those rights matter are in court. So far to date smokers haven't won one private property battle.

You may be correct but it isn't doing you much good.

Of course I'm right, and it's good to see you finally admit it.

So now what point are you trying to make on these threads? That you don't like smokers and they you think they are currently losing the battle?

Ok, you said your piece, anything else? If not, you are excused. Go put on your dunce cap.

The county administrator of a county in Maryland imposed a ban on smoking IN PRIVATE RESIDENCES (this particular county had already bans in place everywhere else) and the edict was stopped cold for fear that it wouldn't be allowed by the court.

And what is the basis of those decisions? One utterly depraved side using lies about second hand smoke? You side with evil.
