Then, acne victims would want their own bars (and wouldn't it be nice to keep people with really bad acne in their own restau- rants) and we would have to have fast-food places on highways catering to people with gastric ulcers. I mean to be really fair... people with hemhorroids never get to sit in bars and pick up people. They should supply cushions. I think that we must face the real issue. Our society has not been able to meet the drinking and socializing needs of the handicapped. Our taxes go, instead, to making weapons of war rather than to really important things like non-smokers bars. I would like to suggest that the many asthmatics and other neurotics that are on the net should organize a telethon. That's the American way. Proceeds could go to create a chain of non- smoker bars. Sometimes, though, you know, kissing a non-smoker isn't that great. Like sometimes they have eaten garlic or have yogurt on their beards. yeccch. Kissing anyone is taking a big chance. You can always get revolted. Anyway, I vote for everything for non-smokers that will keep them segregated from the population at large. I think that we smokers would benefit from this enormously. Imagine, having a nice dinner and lighting up during coffee without having to worry about that prissy little couple with the backpacks and helmets who have been staring at you all evening. Imagine, having a few, relaxed drinks without worrying about being ogled by sex-starved guys in running shoes. This is truly a plan that serves every- one. Also, what do you think about making one of the states a no-smoking state?
