Yay! I'm all for a smoke-free state!

Republican senators denounced the amendment, saying that the state would be improperly intruding into the personal lives of residents. Senator Richard R. Tisei said that smokers are already burdened by increased taxes on tobacco products.

''I can't let this go by,'' said Tisei, a Wakefield Republican. ''One by one, people's personal liberties are being chipped away. It's only a matter of time before someone in this Legislature files a bill to ban butter. Then it's going to be hamburgers, hot dogs.''

Oh! So, banning smoking in public places is "improperly intruding into the personal lives of residents," yet, taking away a woman's right to choose isn't?

I LOVE how Republicans make it all work for them, in this time, regardless of the last line of bullshit to come out of their mouths.

Oh no, Mr. Bill! My civil liberties are being chipped away! Wait. What's that smell? Oh! It's fresh air! Can't have that!!

pardon my French here, but FUCK the RIGHT...

~I promise to contain myself better next time

nothing much to say except that i agree with you.

you know something's wrong when a republican is saying it's his job to protect civil liberties. riiight.

I'm allergic to smoke, so I would be very happy if a law like that was passsed. They'd be saving people from themselves anyway.

I'm all for it, even though it will never happen. oh well :\
