The writer seems to have no problem with non-smokers having no choice in
bars. Let them all stay home. What rights do the 80% have? Apparently
none. What rights do smokers and tobacco companies have? Apparently, all.

Initially, I think it is a bit unfair to compare the Mayor to a head waiter, Having
spent a number of years as a waiter during college and graduate school, the head
waiter exercises a

I'm speculating that because the Minneapolis delegation didn't vote the

standards, etc.), he might have vetoed a project that would help the city.

Okay. I've been watching the smoking topic go back and forth and haven't said

Eddie should consider not putting his butt where someone is already swinging

As they have moved through the process, the Board has valued the

I appreciated Gail's comments (last name? neighborhood?) about the smoking
