Now we're cheering on bans on bad role models?! Oh mercy.

So, then...
Can we ban fat guys in Packer shirts and zuba pants?
Can we ban fat girls in low rise jeans and shirts that say "juicy" or "porn star"?
Can we ban people who wear slippers to the convenience store?
Can we ban homeless people? (please?)
Can we ban pregnant teenagers?
Can we ban drag queens wearing sequines and neon feather boas? (oh god, please!)
Can we ban budding liberal teenagers who want to promote a nanny state in Minnesota and anywhere else in the U.S. and who will eventually grow up to vote for candidates who who will raise my taxes?

Or could I please just step outside and smoke a cigarette? Is it TOO MUCH TO ASK to let me smoke outside in the rain, or the freezing cold or the snow storm or the sweltering sun? I guess it is.

One time my mom called my grandmother and told her I was getting married as a joke. That piece of news went around the family grape vine faster than Michael Moore at a chinese buffet.

My thoughts exactly. Keeripes, what are we coming to?

Mpls is already experiencing a drop in profits from the indoor smoking ban. Losing alot of convention money. But hey, as long as nobody's smoking those LEGAL cigarettes!

First, let me say that I respect your choice, as an adult NOT to smoke, however...

As a concenting adult, I choose to smoke. I don't condone kids smoking and talk to my kids regularly about never starting this habit. I respect others' non-smoking preference in restaurants, etc... but...

The air outside is for all, including smokers. By saying no smoking outdoors, that infringes on my rights and goes too far.

Their lifestyle, minus AIDS, is severely affected by the following:

countless other STDs that no one seems to want talk about
higher than average suicide rate
higher than average alcoholism rate
higher than average promiscuity rate
basically, a very reckless lifestyle

AIDS only hastens their deaths by two years.
