(...) No contest there. I do think we should allow people to make stupid decisions for themselves - if you choose to take the job at the bar, you accept the risks that go with knowing you're working in a place that allows smoking.

(...) I'm more than convinced it should be a law. When the smoker's right to smoke and the citizen (worker, patron, or other)'s right to breathe clean air are in conflict, the right to breathe clean air should always win. The economics are quite (...) (20 years ago, 3-Nov-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Hmmm. So the point is to protect the employees of restaurants from smoke? Not about being able to have dinner in a smoke free room? Shouldn't that be left as a choice for the people who work in the bar? I've no problem with a smoking section, (...) (20 years ago, 3-Nov-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) If someone is rated as ISFJ by the test and as ENTP independantly by 100 psychologists, I'd call that pretty falsified as far as the test procedure itself.

This from a smokefree activist list I subscribe to... Unfortunately, workers lost the right to breathe smokefree air in all workplaces in Toledo and Duluth. No barhopping there! :-( Now for Illinois in 2006, I hope! -Tim -- There is mostly good news (...) (20 years ago, 3-Nov-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I used to have a friend who gave herself a tarot reading at the end of each day to help her assess her day's events. If it helped her focus on her life in a productive way, then that's fine, and there's no harm in it. If the cards (ie, the (...) (20 years ago, 2-Nov-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) The whole license thing is probably, in part at least, a throwback to the days when you had to get blood tests to ensure blood-type compatibility before they'd allow you to get married.
