[Mpls] Candidates who Question or Equivocate on Smoking Ban are Defeated?

[Psurmak at aol.com]

The right of privacy is not guaranteed or stipulated in our constitution,  
nor do any of my posts claim it is.  In fact, the question of whether or  not 
citizens do, or should, have the right to privacy is often hotly  debated and 
forms the basis of arguements both for and against issues, such as  abortion, 
sexual behavior, etc.  
 
My point is not that the right to privacy is guaranteed by our  constitution. 
 Personally I believe that citizens should enjoy this  right, and believe it 
should be applied consistently.  I'm also aware  that some do not share my 
point of view, and I respect that.  My point  is about people who invoke the 
right to privacy arguement when it  supports their position, then conveniently 
ignore it when it doesn't; I believe  this smoking ban debate is an example of 
the latter.  Feel free to  disagree with me, but please don't change the subject.
