[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 188724, member: 135"] This is just another example of the fact that we are giving up our freedoms in this country, one by one. They are forcing this on us by convincing us it is for our own good but it is just a way to get more and more control over people. Once we have given up on the small things, they will start on the bigger ones and by that time it will be too late. I am not a smoker and I don't like to be around people who smoke but if you do smoke it is your own darned business and you should have a reasonable place to do it. In my state, they are trying to pass a law that you can be stopped for not wearing your seat belt. It is the same thing. I always wear my seat belt and I figure if you are dumb enough not to wear it and you get killed, it serves you right but it is not the government's business to tell you what you have to do. I agree with most traffic laws because they are to protect the other people on the road but not wearing your seat belt doesn't endanger anybody else and you should be allowed to make that choice. We are headed down a slippery slope with "Big Brother" deciding what is good for us and what is not and if people don't grow some spheres and stand up and fight back soon, we will be in another totalatarian state. End of my rant for the day. [/QUOTE]
