Any freedom taken away is bull shit. How many people wrote your congressman to vote against the patriot act? They are taking away many freedoms when that goes into full effect. Hopefully our next President will have some brains a ditch it. It violates a few of your constitutional rights, yet it still passed, makes me sick. They will keep taking and taking if you let them.

Now being a smoker i kind of have my own views on this. But to make a law that stops a person there give rights is just out of control. I mean your gonna tell someone that fough in a war that he can't go to his American Legion and smoke a cig if he wants to? Thats crap beacuse the big money casinos will let the 80 year old lady blow smoke in the dealers face all day. I believe that the law should be all or nothing.
Personally the law won't change and neither will i. You'll see me outside smoking, which then will prompt the non smokers to complain that im smoking near the public entrance. Then you'll have a no smoking withing 5 feet of a buisness's door law come into affect. Its all crap.
