After the fact - KC's smoking ban, three+ years later
So, now that we have had time to adjust and absorb the smoking ban, how do you feel about it? Was it a good thing, a bad thing, still an unholy infringement on our "civil rights", or do you just not care one way or another?

Poll to come.

Kind of what I was thinking. Okay, you got your ban. Such-and-such no longer allows smoking. Do you go there now? Heh.

This is an incredibly ignorant statement. We live in a constitutional republic with democratically elected representatives. Those representatives are bound by the rule of law which forbids them from violating the rights of the minority, even if it is the will of the majority. The smoking ban is a clear violation of business owners' property rights.

You call me a NAZI yet you think stripping people of their private property rights arbitrarily is ok? May want to rethink things man.

I am ****ing tired of people thinking it is OK to give away OTHER'S rights simply because they don't feel the effects themselves. This is my very small way of demonstrating what it it's like being on the receiving end.
You banned native? That's worth a $20 donation.

Sometimes people need to be reminded that this country is not, and has never been, a democracy. It's easy to forget that when you are in the majority.

It's only for a week. The others got a 3 day ban to prove the point, he got a 7 day ban because he is just a dick and I felt like it. Seems kind of arbitrary but I guess that proves the overall point even more.

It's your world, boss, we just live in it.

And it certainly isn't paid for with EBT cards.
