Does this imply that my foot is resting on your butt? An unpleasant thought, but maybe an apt metaphor. Maybe you should move your butt out of range of my foot. > Your freedom to smoke ends with my being forced to > breathe it in a public place. How am I forcing you to breathe in a particular public place? Take a look at the photo of the Amsterdam Caf� again: http://www.umn.edu/~athe0007/images/Cafe1.JPG There are many of these small cafes in the Red Light District, why would you go into one if you were worried about smoke? Why can't people be allowed to sit comfortably have a coffee, a smoke, and a newspaper? No one is forced, there are no feet on butts, only butts in ashtrays.
