Smoking Ban

Now to counter your retarded example…

The government is not my parent, however I do willingly submit to rules and laws that prevent me from strangling people I disagree with (whitey) or prevent me from driving drunk, dumping toxic waste down the drain, etc, but I don’t agree with every law. How many people on this forum would like to have their car undergo a true DOT inspection? Do you understand my point?

Just because some crook passes a law, doesn’t mean it’s right.

From your own example, you do realize rules against driving drunk, dumping toxic waste, and strangling Whitey, are all aimed at protecting the general public and for the most part in public places, just as a ban on smoking helps protect the general public in public places.

We have the freedom of speech, but not to yell “FIRE” in a crowded room. Sometimes limits on “freedom” are a good thing for all.

I completely agree that just because something is a law doesn’t mean it’s right, but then again 3 years of law school taught me to question damn near everything I see to a certain extent.
