Seriously,

If you become a sports writer/fan, I'll be your number one fan!! I can just picture you with a hard hat on with the double drink holder and the straws going to your mouth while waving a foam finger, wearing face paint from your face to your waist line, wearing nothing but shorts in -30 degree weather. To top it off it would be great to see you out there chest-bumping the man sitting next to you!!

"Your post is so very true...now ....what was your name again?....I'm sorry...I didn't catch it"

You have a good point yourself biscuitboy, but do recall that I casted stones NEITHER for or against Mrs. Palin. Just making a point on how some folks judge others, when truly we cannot judge, none of us can or should without proper justification. We do it quite often, myself included. We just need to be mindful of it.

It's so easy to judge others when you're hiding behing a computer, the privacy of your own home and the ability to fake your identity.

The Vote Yes signs were vandlized too. It happened on both sides so maybe the unhealthy people were trying to make up for their smoking habit by ruining their shoes too, going around and messing up the signs. (Oh yes I haven't forgotten that non-smokers voted No too). I miss your accent Seriously!! :)

For a person with that kind of dialect, "logic" seems to be too big of a word.

But your better half is right...crack just can't leave the smoking ban thing alone!! That's just funny right there, I don't care who you are!

This is coming from a person who had shopped at Jock Nitch because they are local: I'm not surprised Jock Nitch closed their doors. The prices were outrageous compared to what we can find at Hibbetts, Penny's and places in Topeka. Even during this going out of business sale, prices are still high. But that is the run of the mill here in Emporia. Our mom & pop (or "smaller") stores have to have higher prices to stay open, until the cash (or credit) runs out. As far as their service, I don't remember. I particularly don't like someone bugging me while I shop, if I truly need help I ask for it.

I understand the idea behind equating the smoking ban to the socialist movements of Hitler and Stalin. I just don't feel comfortable saying that the CAE folks are equal to Hitler and Stalin. I only know one indivdual who has advocated for CAE intently and this person would not murder 3 million people because of their religious/ethnic background. Forgive me if I misunderstood what people have said about this.

On For the ban

Seriouslyfolks-should all laws that have been put in place gone before a public vote? No, and obviously not all have. I respect your opinion a great deal and I know you stay well informed. I just have a question for you....where do you get the information that CAE was trying to bypass a public vote? What is "their handbook", I haven't read or heard about the "handbook" before. (For others out there, these are only questions and not "jabs" at seriouslyfolks. This person knows it's only a question, :-) )

Methusla-the website works for me when I click on it from this forum...sorry if you couldn't get to it. Thanks for the info.

Just FYI: information regarding SHS given by the American Cancer Society and American Heart Association

I don't believe CAE forced our local government to deal with this issue. As with a democracy, laws are introduced to small local governments for review and possibly put into place. Our local government could've chosen to table the issue or ignore it all together but they didn't. With a democracy, our government voted to put the ban in place but then a petition was filed to put it to a public vote. It's how it works at this level. Remember you, the citizens of Emporia, voted for our city government.
