[Mpls] Smoking Ban: What to do now?

[David Brauer]

Re: the title of this thread:

The mayor signs the smoking ban today at 11:15 a.m. at Bryant-Lake Bowl,
Bryant & Lake St. There are obviously two clearly held philosophical beliefs
about the ban, but the debate at this point has been well (and repeatedly)
documented and doesn't, IMHO, fit the "what to do now" subject header.

I humbly suggest that if you hate the ban, "what to do now" includes going
to protest today, going to court (if you believe the government has
illegally abrogated individual rights), or organize to overturn it. But
replayed philosophical arguments won't move the ball forward, wherever you
want the ball to go.
