Although I agree that people should not subject their children to their second-hand smoke, I do not agree with the new smoking law.

State government, just like the federal government, is becoming too intrusive in our personal lives, our personal decisions, and even our personal thoughts.

If the state really wanted to protect kids, there should be laws banning all that is “potentially” unhealthy: fast food, violent cartoons, video games, candy, bacon, walking down the street, playing baseball, skiing, bike riding, visiting Los Angeles (smog), living in areas subject to tornados, shellfish, anything requiring repetitive motion, mowing the lawn, running, walking, going to school … my God, this is a dangerous world.

Someone should do something.

Save us from ourselves.
