Chipping away at rights...

[B. Saffles Farms]

Wonder how long it will take before we have Internet resturaunts, and non internet resturaunts, because to much time on the internet is harmful to your health.

Then they will limit the time we spend on the net in our homes too.

Oh, Please....Do you drice a car? Your killing me!
I am a non-smoker, by the way.

Edited to make a snide comment.

I do drive a car. I also abide by all the laws set up to make my car at least somewhat more eco-friendly. I would never drive a car that is a gross polluter and then complain that my rights are being infringed upon when I am told by the government that I have to do something to correct my car's pollution problems.

It is still polluting the air that I breathe. If you don't believe me.....sit in your eco-friendly car in a closed environment.....what do you think will happen?
I am not arguing the fact that smoking is not bad for you or the person sitting next to you, my point is ...where do we draw the line with what the government can ban in our businesses. If they make smoking illegal....now that would be another story....but we all know that is not going to happen in the near future.
