Really? So you understand the government's ability to control your
private property just fine?


I am the *only* Israeli non-smoker, I don't mind people smoking around me
one bit, but I can understand smoking not being allowed in public places,
as well as the UK government's wish to limit the habit by raising taxes on
it.

I can't understand anything that impacts me directly or tells me what to
do, at that level, if I don't hurt others and do so in the privacy of my
own house.

Do we really want to go to the philosophical realm of whether suicide
should be legal or illegal? Let's stick to the facts.

Limiting beer drinking to 2 AM will not actually help reduce drunk
driving. Taking my prints at the bar sound stoo 1984-ish to me.
