Smoking ban
Over at Ky Progress, there is criticism of Louisville's new smoking ban.
It might be unfair to hang views of conservatives in general around Ky Progress's neck, but where was his civil libertarian bones when the Patriot Act was up for review?
The conservative view: smoking ban: bad; Total Information Awareness: okay if the President says so.
The spread of government smoking bans should concern anyone with even a single civil libertarian bone in his body.

As the story this week about Clinton admin folks not sharing the known identity of four of the 9/11 hijackers made painfully clear, the government already knows what they want to know about you. The Patriot Act just allows the government to protect us better from those who want share Islamo-fascist radicalism and murderous plans.
