What is the penalty for smoking in a prohibited place and why is this a bigger issue for you than flagrant violations of the Constitution leading to pre-emptive wars and $Trillions of debt wracked up by the administration?

Because it's the little issues like this that allow the big issues to occur, IMO. Besides, I don't consider this issue any smaller than the debt issue which has been going on for years and years and years. Long before the current administration.

Now what were all you people saying about no-smoking laws never going to be passed?

To the contrary. I've never said that. Been battling that for a few years now. In this case, it's not the passing of the law that's at issue but why they are leaving the casinos out. Hypocrites. Typical, the government thinks they can bully the little guy and they do and no one stands up for them but when it comes to the big and powerful it's hands off.

ROFL, this ban is so ludicrous. Just the fact that it singles out and favors casinos makes the ban illegal. Watch the lawsuits pile up, the ones that all other bussinesses will be filing, claiming damages. Of course, they will be paid out from the tax revenues. Too bad the average citizen is too stupid to actually rise up. Like some people are already saying, everyone who works should all change our claims on taxes taken out to the highest number, cut off the taxes going to the government till the end of the year, and then refuse to file taxes, period. Many people forget that filing taxes is not mandatory, it's compulsory. See if they can jail 50% of US citizens, forget 50, see if they can even jail 30%.

This is one of the ways to get your civil war, re-build the government that blatantly dissregards and refuses to enforce our laws.

There is another thing that's got me irked. I don't know how many of you are aware of the fight over whether the 911 post twin tower collapse emergency worker illnesses and sometimes death are attributed to that event. I don't have a link for this new one that a coroner has for the first time written down that it was. Now the local NY goverment is coming out swinging saying no it wasn't. What's at steak? Line of duty death benefits for his family. Funny, cigarettes cause lung cancer but that the 911 contaminated air couldn't. Again, what a bunch of hypocrites.
