>>Maybe they should make smoking illegal just outside the restaurant as well - its a starting place..?



It's forbidden within 25 feet of any doors at my college. I love it.



>>Jen you seem like a nice person, someday you may realize what I am trying to say. It isnt about one or another issue such as smoking or seatbelt laws, etc..., it is about the greater issue of personal freedoms we want to keep.



I do understand what you're saying, and I actually agree that the government does need to stop meddling in some things so much. I just don't believe that there is a consipiracy to control every aspect of what we do.



Both of my parents also run and operate their own small-time business, and I work for a company that started out small and has become incredibly successful. The taxes I am sure they hate, but they are succeeding anyway.



We as a culture are dependent on our government to provide for us. Social Security, welfare, health care... Lots of people get very upset if you threaten to take those things away.

It's people, not the government, that are the problem. If people didn't lean on the government so much, the need for those expensive programs wouldn't exist.
