[Mpls] Smoking ban night 2

[David Shove]

You are committing the cardinal sin of confusing the smoky okeydokey folks
with facts.

What are a few upstart facts, when at stake is the freedom to do anything
you want, if you have more money than those you are doing it to?

A sufficient pile of money trumps any fact.
Reality is the collected wishes of the powerful.
The ruling class defines reality; other classes disbelieve at their peril.
Goodness and knowledge are "wimp attributes";  the prime attribute of god
is power.

A non-bar is a bar if you have the power to enforce belief.
