I like Amanda, use to think that people would stand up and put a stop to this freedom-limiting madness, but when a notoriously conservative state like TX is embracing smoking bans (Austin) I tend to lose hope. More and more it seems that the outcries of smokers are overlooked.

The attack on obese people has gotten to me as well. If the attack on them by the private sector (double ticketing on airplanes etc..) wasn't enough, now they are being attacked by BS legislation! It seems even with a "conservative" legislature and president the liberals are still imposing their whacked out views on our society. And now the Canadians are heading the same route.

Very sorry to hear it Island, hopefully one day all this crap legislation will be overturned. If not, I see a whole new prohibition era starting complete with speakeasies (I hear it's already started in CA).
