My local state sentator in Pennsylvania government lost my vote. He's a Republican. Believe it or not, the Democrat assemblyman has so far not pissed me off, he voted against it. The "IT" I am referring to is the smoking ban. Smoking persay is a sidebar. The point of losing my vote is the idea behind a smoking ban.
Sorry Senator, but even high school civics students understand that driving is a privilege that occurs on publicly owned property (roads), while private property ownership is a right. A property owner’s right to allow patrons to enter, and to partake of a legal activity – smoking – far outweighs the inclination of any particular patron to dictate the terms of allowable activity upon the property owner and other patrons.Senator Corman’s profound misunderstanding and under-appreciation of our Constitution and of civil liberties is what is driving nanny state policies such as a smoking ban.
Very well said. The fundamental belief in Liberty keeps me from supporting any such bill.
Here is how the General Assembly voted
