So if the government say they must regulate something for no good reason, we must obey that regulation?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Section. 8. Clause 1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises...

Clause 18: To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.


If the government "decides" it must regulate something, it is because our freely elected representatives pass a law. Such can occur only in accordance with above guidance from our Constitution after debate and deliberation. Any citizen is free to contribute such debate through petition of his or her representative.

You kid yourself if you think you are not on the side of bad government.

"Bad" government can exist only if its citizens allow such.

You will allow, "bad government", because you hate to smell tobacco smoke.

And let me tell you, you are one such allowing it.

As I said, we have nothing left to discuss.

Sorry about the double post.
It came up with a blank reply for me the first time.
