While many here may not like the source, read his words: Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper. -Larry Flynt Guns, tobacco, booze, hotel rooms, car rentals, restaurants, etc...

http://www.jsonline.com/news/editorials/feb04/210870.asp Editorial: A gunfight in Washington From the Journal Sentinel Posted: Feb. 28, 2004 The U.S. Senate is set to vote Tuesday on an awful bill that would shield the gun industry from lawsuits - a benefit that no other industry...

To me the bill as presented is silly. So next we get to hear about the restaurants, ATV manufactures, the makers of Oreo’s, etc. Why not just create a bill that provides for REAL penalties for those filing frivolous lawsuits and get it over with in one session?

Two Party System With a two party system, which is what we basically have, you're safest breaking up the houses. Just my opinon.

For the sake of the thread, I’m bowing out. In closing: If you don’t like cigarette smoke – leave. If you think others have the same feelings – open your own business and become the next millionaire. Jeeper: There is a line. PM me if you want to continue. This thread is getting...

Cool Hand Luke brings up a very interesting conversation. Back in the 50’s and 60’s blackmail was a very popular tool from what I’ve read. During that time period, the press in the US didn’t print our leaders background or their daily activities. On the other hand, now they love to...

Greg Bell: Don’t fret about it, Greg. We all enjoyed your thoughtful comments and insight. Also, I’m guessing I wasn’t the only one.

Thumper: Thank you for that information. Those were very helpful and offered insight. In my opinion (which I know won't be popular here), the U.N. should be moved to France or Africa. Greg Bell: You just seeing your name online turns you on, eh? Congrats! You got it.

stevelyn: Are you saying he has something worse in mind than the “Patriot Act†or the Patriot Act II†in mind? If so, please share!

Art Eatman: To be honest, I don’t really care if George W was into cocaine and boozing or even if he was AWOL in his younger years. I do admit they all show signs of bad character though. If Kerry is getting a little on the side, that’s not for me to judge. I do admit that shows...

bountyhunter: The people that want to carry concealed are an extreme minority in Wisconsin. At best they’re guessing 3 percent. Even in a vote for it with the general population is 35/65 at best (I know numbers suck, so don’t hold me to them.) Smokers are over 20 percent. Tell me...

bountyhunter: I’m sorry if you have health problems you feel are related to your father. I suggest you sue your father. You didn’t have a choice but to be there. That’s not what this thread is about though. It’s about forcing your will on a person that has built a business...

Pendragon: That has to be one of the silliest things I’ve ever heard. Non-smokers are forcing their wishes on business owners. Are you reading along here?

Mpayne: Please post reports of people being kidnapped and forced to bartend. Thank you.
