Fifty. There were fifty bars in Minneapolis that were voluntarily smoke-free before the ban was implemented. 50. There were choices. Presently, we have choices between vegetarian restaurants, and those which serve meat. In the interest of public health, when will that choice be taken away from us? When do all restaurants go "meat-free?" Dan McGrath Longfellow http://www.shegstad.us REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.
