What a WONDERFUL quote!
Thank you so much, Mr. Kane.

I like them.
Yes, tadalafil ailment I know I lean libertarian.
And for the longest time I couldn’t reconcile the two.
But then my girl said, viagra generic store “the problem is that a smoker’s right to smoke takes away my right not to smoke.”
And a light went off in my head.
YES!
That’s exactly it.
Smoking in a public place is an assault.

If someone near me smokes, I smoke whether I want to or not.
The right of everyone to breath clean air takes precedent over an individual’s right to pollute it for everyone around him.
And before you start leaving comments that people should be able to do whatever they want on their private property and bars and restaurants are private property not public places…don’t bother.
Bars and restaraunts are NOT private property like homes. They are places of business. As such they are subject to a number of regulations:
Health regulations
Occupancy limits
Fire codes
Liquor laws
It is not the same as a private individual’s home.
And if a ban puts a few restaurants and bars out of business (which I doubt ever really happens), they have no one to blame but themselves.
If they had ever provided true smoke-free environments for their non-smoking patrons (instead of putting half walls between the bar and the “no smoking” area), no
So bring it on my brethren.
Try to convince me that smokers should be the one class of people who get to exercise their “right” at the expense of everyone else.

I feel the same way. It’s hypocritical to defend one form of free speech and not the other.
Of course, my solution would be to allow MORE free speech for everyone, not less.
Personally, I’m much more frightened by a government jailing someone for what they said, then I could ever be by some moron denying the

2.) Yes, we can vote them out after they overspend our money. We can also vote to keep them from doing it in the first place.

Fred at RealDebateWisconsin asked these questions in a post about the Powerball lottery:
Do lotteries do more harm than good? Is the tax break worth it? How many tickets do you buy if any? Scratch-off or lotto games? And of course the big question, generic viagra patient what would you do with $360, drugstore 000,000 dollars?
I really never play.
But I remember a conversation I had with a friend once.
He was outraged that states were establishing lotteries (this was quite a while ago).
His contention was it was really just a hidden tax on poor people.
(And he was a guy who never met a tax he didn’t like.)
I just didn’t get it.
If the lottery is basically a tax, who cares? It’s the ONE tax people actually WANT to pay.
In fact, I’d like to see the state and Federal governments extend the chance to win big to other taxes.
How much happier would you be sending in your tax returns if there was a chance that you could win the $300 Million Internal Revenue Sweepstakes?

I own my own business.
For years, I’ve made less than I could have working for someone else.
I do this with the hope that eventually I’ll make MORE money than I would have working for someone else.
Basically, I have “deferred” part of my compensation until later.
Or course, if the world changes and my “deferment” doesn’t pay off, no one is going to compensate me for my hard work.
To me, this is the fundamental problem with unions, they want the world to work in a way that it simply does not.
And when they get their way, they become like creeping vines that slowly choke the life out of companies like GM and communities like Milwaukee.
