this isn't just a chicago ban, this is going to be a statewide ban, which is insane, we still got time though, when would it go into effect, next year? did blago sign it yet? i guess i don't exactly know what the hells going on, i've read that he will sign it though...if he hasn't already...jake, why are you preaching about a private business owner's rights but excluding restaurants? that just completely contradicts itself, i can understand actual public places, but really, think about it, is your property even really yours anymore? local governments can steal your property and pay you what they want if they can get more tax dollars from a better offer, this kind of thing is happening more and more, things are getting crazy, there will be a national smoking ban in time, unless we do something, but combating a smoking ban goes a lot deeper than just trying to stop it, this chipping away at a free society penetrates everything, i just want to live in a completely free society where the market dictates everything, ethical business laws are important to keep everyone honest, other than that, let the market dictate what's what. there must be standards...the government should just keep their nose out of people's lives, do what the founding fathers actually intended america to be, except that equality means all of humanity, in a free society, opening a restaurant to serve great food and allow your guests to have a smoke, that should be illegal? that just seems so wrong, the market will dictate smoking and non smoking private businesses that have guests on their own property. tax dollar funded establishments...fine...ban it, private property? do any of you understand that our legalization movement really should be about personal freedom? and not the science of cannabis? a god given plant should be free, i don't care what this plant does, a completely natural plant on earth cannot be banned, and you prohibitionists...realize that your approach to a tobacco ban parralells a ban on cannabis, you have a view of personal freedom but then support blanket laws on people that only limit personal freedoms, creating your own business whatever it may be, privately owned, you should be allowed to set the rules...smoking is not an act that you can compare to murder, rape, theft, etc. these are the things our government should go after, these distractions are really keeping us away from our real problems...let's go after smokers, i just can't understand people, let's just keep telling people how to live their lives, i'm a bit buzzed, oh well, i'm done ranting, good day.
