Seems the most logical of arguments. In a pretty illogical argument,
of "which poison do we outlaw first? The really worst, or the
perceived worst?"
Same type of logic that says Herb should be outlawed, but booze is
swell for everyone. Just senseless, in my opinion.
And where does it stop? I heard congress was thinking about
regulating how fatty foods could be, or something like that. Does
that sound yummy to all them "rights grabbers"?
It's just not very smart, in my opinion, to try to force your views
(even if they're, like, for Good, and the Chillin's) on other people.
As for the health code stuff, I think part of that relates to the
"hiddenness" of how your food is prepared, etc.. Smoking is quite
obvious. If you don't like it, eat somewhere where it's banned, or
talk to the owner or whatever. Don't create a bigger government (we
do have to enforce this crap, which means additional strain on the
justice, etc., systems).
You don't like what you're seeing, change the fucking channel. Not
too hard to comprehend, besides "oh, the chillin's! Who will protect
thems?" The fucking parents? The village? Neh. Lets all just live
like babies, in a nerf world. Yeah! Sound like fun! Not.
