_Won’t someone please think of the children?_

I swear sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between crazed right-wing do-gooders and crazed left-wing do-gooders. I suppose because they are cracking down on smoking this is a Democrat issue.

At least here, I can take my do-goodism straight without the bitter additive of hypocrisy.

I was thinking the same about disabled people. Why, by law, should a public place have to provide access for the disabled? Mobility-compromised folks should just avoid places they can’t gain access to.
