Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?
The devil is tempting me here, and I'm about to hold his hand. A Bakersfield couple wants the City Council to ban smoking in public parks. That's got to be a blatant assault on people's freedom to slowly kill themselves on a park bench. Isn't it enough that they can't smoke in restaurants, bars and public buildings? The devil tells me no. I'm nodding in agreement. But smokers pay taxes too. A lot. Especially on those cigarettes they buy. Don't they have rights too? Rights to stink up the air and trash the grounds? No, I don't think they should have those rights. Posted by Steve E. Swenson
