Hi folks - looks like a busy list-manager day.
There is a VERY narrow basis to discuss the state smoking ban — limited to how it affects Mpls.
However, we've held the underlying debate on the general merits/demerits of the ban concept, so let's rest on our laurels until there's local news, or until March 31.
Did I mention warnings? I'd rather not give them out, so please desist.
David Brauer List manager
People like Mr. Strand have always had the choice to patronize clubs and
restaurants that did not allow smoking. People like Mr. Strand and the city
council just felt it necessary to have a law passed increasing the number of
choices available. In doing so, the ban actually removes choice. Apparently
a sizeable portion of the populice is unable to decide to stay out of places
that are not healthy for them and need a law to dictate their choices for
them. Thanks, freedom fighters. Like I've said before....I don't like rap
"music," so I stay out of places that play it. If you don't like smoke, why
on earth can't you just stay out of smoky bars? What is so tough about it?
REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules. If you think a member is in violation, contact the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] before continuing it on the list.
2. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait.
