all the anti-smoking politicians and legal types keep saying that "smoking is not a right."this is a classic rhetorical dodge, a distraction, misdirection.
the right, or at least the implied right, is that private business owners should be able to run their busineses as they see fit.
why must everything be all or nothing in this country? where's the half-way?
why not issue smoking liscenses in the the same way that we issue alcohol liscenses?
why not put a big red X on the door of smoking establishments so non-smokers will know that they're not wanted there?
what ever happened to the market correcting itself?
if "nearly 80 percent of ohioans do not smoke" why weren't nearly 80% of the bars smoke-free already? the market demands it.
where will the hardcore, unrepentant smokers go now?
so here's my classic rhetorical dodge and i think it's slightly less lame: the slippery slope.
if things keep going like this, next they'll be telling veterans that they can't smoke in their own VFWs.
wait, they're already doing that.
fascist government bastards.
