What They Said
Today is the first day of a smoking ban in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, here in Minnesota. For those of you who don't live here, that's Minneapolis and St. Paul respectively and their surrounding burbs. This means no smoking anywhere in bars or restaurants in the Twin Cities.

I am plenty pissed off about this development. I hope the various legal challenges to the law work out. This being Minnesota, however, I'm not holding my breath. (Ha, ha! Get it?) But I'm not going to bother getting worked up. If bars and restaurants don't want my money, that's just fine with me. I have no problems with staying at home. It's better for my bank balance anyway.
But you should go read Dementee anyway. Because it's good fun, and it's similar to what I would write had I not just had a large lunch and felt a nap was called for.

Here in New York State, things are pretty sick. A couple of years ago local bars and restuarants were told they could only permit smoking if they had seperate smoking areas with seperate ventilation. So the owners put in these expensive smoking rooms. Then, after about a year of allowing smoking in separate rooms, the state changes her mind bans smoking altogether. Of course there no rebate for the expense of having putting in these now useless smoking rooms.
I am mad, and I don't even smoke. I take a libertarian stance.
