- Go to Limited Smoking Bans In North Carolina
RSM, did you even read my comment?
Nothing in this post backed up the idea that anyone's free will was being taken way. If we went by your logic, then it is an attack on free will that says I cannot go and strip naked in the middle of McDonalds whenever I so please. None of whet you talked about in this post is taking away anyone's free will.

Re:
That's just it! Some you can not understand that they are taking your freedoms away every day but yet you support this idiot. I do not support him on anything because it is socialism where he wants to take us and freedoms one by one will erode away. I do not smoke but when you start to say you have control over someone's free will then you need to be stopped.

RSM, WHERE DO IS START WHEN YOU WRITE SUCH A DUMB POST?
First off, here in Colorado we have had such
smoking bans in place for several years, and they have been a good thing. Due
to families feeling better about going places businesses have seen an increase
in business by not having people smoking. And if your bar or restaurant cannot
hold up with a smoking ban in place, then chances are your have been running
your businesses poorly for some time now. I know I feel better about going out
to eat knowing that I will not have to put up with the unpleasantness of
smokers. I sorry but the rights of a few to be able to slowly kill themselves
off in a truly moronic way should not take priority over the rights of the vast
majority who wish to be able to go to places and not be exposed to unwanted
cigarette smoke. I have never once seen smoker give a damn about the comfort of
non-smokers, which makes bans like these all the more needed.
And no one is taking away or regulating anyone's free will. If people want
to smoke, they still can, just not in certain places. Just as I cannot go and
take a XXX movie and watch it where ever I please. My freedom to watch such
things is there, but I need to be curious and understand that others do not wish
to be exposed to such things and that if I wish to enjoy a porn movie, I need to
do it where I am not imposing on other people's freedoms to not do such.
And what the hell does that have to do with Obama?
Man you are really reaching for that connection there and it was as weak as it
gets in the end. When Obama and congress bailed out that company and basically
made it so that company was being run by the government. At that point, yeah
they get to make changes tot eh company in order to get it running better so
that it can pay off what it now owes the government by actually making money.
Once that company is able to pay off what it owes and basically buy itself back
from the government, then they can do what they please. For the time being,
since they needed to be bailed out, they have to put up with giving up a certain
level of power.
And I still have yet to see any evidence, logic or reasons that says
the (un)Patriotic act did not take away our freedoms. It was a huge step in
Bush being able to piss all over the founding ideas of this country and be able
to ignore the parts of the Bill of Rights that he disliked. That came much
closer to taking away and/or regulating free will than anything Obama or the
present Congress has done.

Smoking created atmosphere in restaurants and bars. Somehow non-smokers survived. In the early 70s but during the Nixon administration the capitalistic atmosphere of America changed mate. The mass media deemed that the Americana of a great amount of area in the Midwest particularly unprofitable. In this way television, radio, and later magazines preferred no tangible products for advertisements. In other words I actually read in TV Guide that the Andy Griffith type of television show couldn’t sell JELLO to farmers. Do any of you farmers buy JELLO? General Foods merged with Kraft and the tobacco company Phillip Morris and later NABISCO into a very large conglomerate of former entertainment oriented television sponsors. Services such as insurance, tax services, and investment firms such as Fanny Mae replaced the goods and changed the mood of the country. Mexican and European marketing firms still market entertainment for fun. The change in the target audience of the mass media and goods and services, that is, services over good in the United States,; along with the change in importation law and the tariff tax especially in foreign cars led to a new business state of an exuberant and fantastical rise in the cost of healthcare based on heath insurance. The problem for the uninsured notwithstanding, evolved into the present hectic state of affairs in the national economy. President Obama inherited this problem. Unfortunately international economics caused him to perhaps act too Democrat in the not creation but in the activation of big hands on government, ending laissez faire at least for the time being. I support him on healthcare, and in this way his stimulus bill. However the government should stay out of the employment practices of private business except when laws are broken as in the case of Bernie and AIG. Thank you for this opportunity. Indeed you share an interesting read. BCA, Bill*s Roost

Re: okay,
So from your words, no matter who is president you just have to sit back and take it, correct? If your thought proccess would happen to be correct then no matter who we have as president then there is no reason to have an opposing opinion, correct?
We, as you say,
"now is the time for everyone to just accept it,, stop griping about it,,, and just try to go on the best they can"
Accept it? Try to do the best we can? Geez, I never heard this from any liberal during Bush's 8 years, wonder why? I guess if you do not stand for anything then this thought process would be great for whomever takes over power. This thought process lends itself to a liberals dream. Imagine an entire nation who believes "now is the time for everyone to just accept it,, stop griping about it"
Can any of you understand what this type of mental thought could lead this nation to? Accept it? You just give up your own beliefs and just accept it? What kind of completely spineless crap is this concept? Stop griping about it? HA! Jesse Jean, you do not know me well. you must be new to Blogit. I do thank you for ideas for a new post but I must remind you of the lyrics of a song, 'If you do not stand for something then you will fall for anything.' WAKE UP DARLING!
