It does appear that choices are only allowed if the
correct people approve. The extemists of the ruling
party
have deemed smoking unacceptable so its out. Target
was deemed acceptable so homeless are out and the
store is in. Oh wait these same folks support homeless
but they did need that store downtown and with so many
supporters working for Target corp. lets build them an
new office space. Well the former mayor lost to many
affordable housing units but there is Target. Now they
are screaming for a smoking ban and have it. Many of
us will go to other bars in the cities we will be fine
but mpls will suffer from the loss of both bars and
tax base. I predict those who have given us this ban
will be out next election just like the old mayor. As
an aside, a recent science magazine article stated
that there is more evidence showing damage caused by
violent video games than the harm from second hand
smoke.Humm could they be next? Dain Lyngstad phillips/edina
