Anti-libertarian, huh? Well, my vehicle ain't their property. A place I worked at last summer had announced that the entire corporation was going to be a non-smoking environment come the first of the year. Now as a temp I figured that I wasn't gonna be there, but I said the same thing then -- my car isn't their property. The response was that I'd have to drive off the property (the driveway was quite long), and smoke there if I wanted to. As it turned out one other guy there got the okay to step over the boundary to the adjacent property and they were fine with us doing that, if it'd come down to that. In an urban environment where I'd be parking on the street the question wouldn't even come up. If I chose to leave it in the car that is, which I don't normally tend to do anyhow. :-) -- Member of the toughest, meanest, deadliest, most unrelenting -- and ablest -- form of life in this section of space, a critter that can be killed but can't be tamed. --Robert A.
