"It's just an excuse to pander to their tree hugging, fern eating, panty-wearing, left wing constituants. The problem is how do you stand up in the legislature, or any where else for that matter, and make a logical argument for it?"
My grandfather is as Right wing as you can go and I bet he favors this law.. Where the bloody hell would you get that argument from? Do you follow politics at all? Politics didnt control this desicion, the fact that people should be able to work in a second hand smoke-free environment is what the bill is based on, worker saftey, not left vs. right politics... If you happen to to notice this bill passed under a Rep. Gov. here in RI...
I understand smoking is an addiction, people smoke, thats the way it is, and thats fine it is your body, in fact if the gov't didnt make $$$ off the taxes they may have been banned much earlier than now.... do what you want, in your own home, but why should I go out for a beer with friends and come home having to wash my jacket and hat because it reeks and have the added effect of second hand smoke...
Go smoke your pack a day, when I'm rock hopping at 70, you can be wheezing behind me if you live that long...
And by the way, I've never eaten a fern in my life, nor worn panties.. what that has to do with this is beyond me..
