Sanity and Freedom Prevails!

Its official. I just got home from the election watch party and had the pleasure of enjoying the company of some very happy people who witnessed the final results of the proposed smoking ban election.

With over 16,000 votes cast, a margin of around 200 won out against the ban.

This is the second time in three years these whiners and complainers have gotten their butts kicked.

It can be done. It takes dedication, passion and hard work to get the word out and even non-smokers can be convinced that it time to stand against tyranny and mind control.

For more details, log on to amarillo.com, the local daily rag and enjoy the moment with the rest of us freedom fighters.

Sweet! I was cautiously optimistic that Amarillo voters would reaffirm how they voted in 2005, and I'm very, very happy to see they did. Especially after the fact that it looks like from reading internet headlines, that Kerrville, TX voters voted(in a similar voter referendum like Amarillo, on the same day) in favor of extending their existing partial ban into a comprehensive ban.

I'll take any victories we can get over antis nowadays, since their dirty tactics to campaign for bans annoy me so much. And this is regardless of the type of tactics they may use(i.e. antis exaggerating the 'workers breathe XX number of cigarettes per work shift'(which btw, Bill Hannegan of St. Louis caught IL antis doing, in their campaigning for the Illinois ban), '30 seconds/minutes(insert amount of time here, lol) of SHS will increase your odds of getting lung cancer', etc.).
