No one will take you seriously as a blue state if you don’t enact a smoking ban.  Because we’re all about freedom and personal choice.  I miss good old fashioned liberalism, I have to say.
Gov. Ed Rendell has called for a ban on smoking in most public places as part of his broad “Prescription for Pennsylvania” agenda to lower the cost of health care, broaden its availability and improve its quality.
Ed Rendell can take his Prescription for Pennsylvania, and stick it where the sun don’t shine. Surrender personal freedom to keep health care costs down?  Oh yeah, that’s a road I want to go down.
Sometimes I swear we don’t have any politicians that have even the remotest concept of liberty. In this world, I am an extremist, and that’s sad, I think.
They will come for your red meat next. Just wait.
That could be seriously misconstrued :)
