The city of Houston (I live in one of its suburbs, so I suppose we’ll be next) yesterday adopted a “no smoking” ordinance. I don’t smoke. Neither do I need a mommy to tell me I can’t go into a bar, restaurant, or other private establishment and get my lungs stuffed full of tar and other carcinogens if I damn well please. I’M A BIG BOY NOW!
What the ner-do-wells can’t purchase from the marketplace of goods or ideas, they coerce with the heavy hand of government. Many of them are booze slobbering, fat slobs who haven’t looked at themselves in the mirror lately to see their own faults and begin to take corrective action as they point their finger at others. And, I’m not pointing my accusatory finger at those who like to eat and drink to excess, for I myself have been known to do both. Yes, I looked in the mirror today…
