Re: the title of this thread: The mayor signs the smoking ban today at 11:15 a.m. at Bryant-Lake Bowl, Bryant & Lake St. There are obviously two clearly held philosophical beliefs about the ban, but the debate at this point has been well (and repeatedly) documented and doesn't, IMHO, fit the "what to do now" subject header.
I humbly suggest that if you hate the ban, "what to do now" includes going to protest today, going to court (if you believe the government has illegally abrogated individual rights), or organize to overturn it. But replayed philosophical arguments won't move the ball forward, wherever you want the ball to go. David Brauer Kingfield [Strictly personal opinion, not writing as list manager] REMINDERS: 1.
