Lemme see if I have this right...

You don't have enough clout to vote it out of existance with your 
purchasing dollars, so you'll become enough of a 'pain in the ass'
to the legislature so they'll outlaw it.  Sure makes sense to me!

That's what I like about the liberal do-gooders, predictability.
They're predictable to take whatever position is required in order
to stick it to the other guy, even with relativly unimportant, nonsense 
issues like smoking.  Unlike others, they're not constrained to obey
fundamental priciples of ethical behavior or to display even a minimal 
amount of character attributes.  Guys, had you been born 40 years
earlier you would have made excellent Nazis (they too knew what was
best -- for everyone).  

The guy that made this post, to his credit, is at least honest and open 
about it.
