As a realist and from experience, no I don't have any illusions of expection that people respect each other. It's my understanding that that's why there are laws. > I gather you are saying that you are for banning cigarette smoking in > public then? Otherwise you are stating the obvious. All I'm asking is, based on the obvious that smoking poisons the immediate breathing environment and that it is illegal to intentionally poison people through other means, what is the appropriate social result? Arsenic is arsenic, no? > So are fine with the public driving SUV's, but against people smoking > cigarettes in public? Seems hypocritical to me. Consistency is the hobgoblin yadda yadda. I'm not 100% on any topic. I'm actually having fun watching the extreme opinions being bandied about on both sides. It seems to me though that automobiles serve more of a useful purpose than public smoking. > p.s. I do not drive a vehicle, therefore I am holier (and have more > spending money) than all of thou. Actually, if there was decent public transportation here, like the Metro or subway in DC and NY I would use it all the time. I did the times I was there. The lack of public transportation is the flip side of our wide open spaces. -Kevin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
