Nanny state my arse.<BR/><BR/>Smoking in public is fundamentally a shit thing to force upon other people (smokers or not). <BR/><BR/>Legislation is absolutely necessary, just as it's necessary to legislate that disabled people get treated equally or that punching a child in the face is altogether different from administering similar refreshment to a drunken pal in an unco-operative state. <BR/><BR/>The former is completely unjustifiable whereas the latter is often entirely required when trying to make a point. Dja get me?<BR/><BR/>Oh dear, once upon a time I had some serious point to make known. Now? Who the hell can say but by god let's form a focus group, lobby like we mean it and legislate as if our very lives depended on it.<BR/><BR/>Is it time for my medicine yet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33388979.post-7899013402196210672007-07-03T14:54:00.000+01:002007-07-03T14:54:00.000+01:00I think you may have brought us back from the brin...I think you may have brought us back from the brink in the nick of time. <BR/><BR/>As for the smoking ban, I would have expected major ructions when they tried to bring it in Ireland back in 2004, what with them being a nation of lovable Guinness-crazed ginger chain-smokers, but it seems to have gone in without a hitch.
