I am a great, pure liberal - I love my personal freedom
it is my personal shame that I enjoy the indoor smoking ban.

A buddy of mine owns a bar. He says that we need to go back to prohibition. "Then we could really party in here again."

If pot became legal, I do not think it should be smoked indoors in public. Some people just don't like smoke.

I can deal.

1. Some people can't handle the smoke physically.
I have asthma and if I am exposed to smoke it literally takes 48 hours to recover. Not fun. There are many people with allergy and lung problems. Peace, Kim

5. By that logic,
wearing perfume in public should be banned as well. I have allergies but perfume affects me much more strongly than smoke. I've thought I was gonna die in elevators before!

2. My son lives in NYC...
he says his friends who smoke don't complain about the ban, they just step outside if they want a cigarette. Not a big deal.

3. Do you think I should not be able to pee in the public drinking water
The human being needs three things to sustain life, Food , Water , and Air. If it is okay to foul one of these why not all three? I demand my right to pee in the public drinking water. Peeing after all is a right and who are these liberals to say I can't pee any damn place I wish...:shrug:

7. Where do you think most of our drinking water comes from?
The fecal matter, waste and urine of the city that is up-river from us. That's why treatment plants exist. There is no more water, and no less water than we had when the Earth was formed. It's all recycled and purified either naturally, or by our intervention.

I know it's not you, but the poster above was making a useless point. He's already been drinking pee...ever since he was born.

GS? Ewww!:P
