I don't know about that, but three things I like about CA: 1) the weather, 2) the endless variety of fresh foods and 3) the fact that there is no smoking in any public facility.

I knew a guy who loved to pass gas (he was a youngster, at the time). He loved the sound, the sensation and even the odor (of his own, only, I suspect). But nobody around him, including his parents, enjoyed the event. They felt it was intrusive, rude and ill-mannered.

Ditto for smoking in public.

But not unhealthy. Thank you for your candor.

Sounds like you are advocating a law against farting. Figures.

The smell couldn't be worse than the stench of fascism.

Those of you who become apoplectic at the sight of a cigarette never cease to amaze me in your zealous championing of the creation of smoke-free areas where likely you would have never set foot when smoking was practiced.

Do these places hold a special charm for you or are you just determined to order the world to your liking?
