    Ya but to go out and say that people are going to ban smoking, they should ban drinking too. Its a luxury and if it helps stop underage drinking

    BTW smoking addiction is second only to heroin. So the majority of people will not be able to just quit.


    I just want this stuff gone, super low prices

        Holy crap, I'm going crazy, our senate race is still undecided with less than a 2,000 vote margin... makes me glad I made the trip to vote though.

          Anyone watch Hacking Democracy? It's disturbing, to say the least. Anyone vote on a Diebold system?

            I had to use a Diebold today because my district polling place ran out of ballots.

            While choosing through candidates on the Diebold, I kept thinking back to the picture of the Diebold company van with the Cheney/Bush bumper sticker. Not exactly the best thing to inspire confidence in a supposdly foolproof way of voting.

                      If enough people think it's a bad idea, it won't pass. Otherwise, it will. Deal.

                        In ohio... we just outlawed smoking everywhere except private homes, inside your car, and private fully family owned/operated businesses.

                        If you are seen smoking in public or a place of commerce you get a big fine. For example... malls, parks, sidewalks, BARS, STRIPCLUBS, BOWLING ALLEYS, resaraunts, etc. are all illegal places to smoke unless there is a separate closed off "smoking" lounge with separate ventilation.

                          here in madison, smoking isnt allowed in any restaurant or bar. but you can do it anywhere else pretty much. deffinately does make it nice to be in a restaurant and not be breathing in alot of smoke.

                          the thing that suprised me/ pissed me off about this election was that the ban on gay marriages and any civil union actually passed.

                            Same in Virginia. I guess I was too optimistic in hoping people would actually read the proposal and be aware of the numerous flaws, even if they weren't actually in favor of gay marriage.

                              Haha

                              Michigan voted last time to ban gay marriage - I mean, "protect marriage"

                              This time we voted to do away with affirmative action, because denying anyone rights or giving preferential treatment would be wrong....
