It is also legal to own a gun but I can't carry one on the plane or in certain public places so that must be hurting bars and restaurants as well. 
As far as the stupid excuse that this will hurt bars and restaurants in KC I read an article last night in the KC Star that all the neighboring counties and cities all have smoking bans. Independence passed one, all or most of Johnson County does and Wyandotte county is going to pass one this year as well so either smokers are going to stay home (which that will never happen) or they will go out anyway because frankly there is no where else to go. |
Point is, it's the fact that it was even put to a vote that is sad and indicitive of diminishing rights and choices and the basic pussification of this country.
Get it?
