Like I said, the smoking restrictions are probably good - but they opened the door to a change that has tilted the balance far in the other direction. We all have to step on tippytoes now, worring whether we will arouse somebody's self-righteous wrath because we said something or ate something that offended their sensitivities.

In general, I think my permission to tailor the world to my specifications should stop at ME. Still, I wish those damn libertarians would stop dumping their garbage on the side of the road that goes past my house.
