Congratulations

As you know, I seldom agree with Governor Schwartzenegger, but he has struck a stunning blow for freedom, personal responsibility and common sense by vetoing (CA) Senate Bill 4 which would have banned smoking at state-run beaches and parks. The Governor called it "improper intrusion of government into people's lives. (By) mandating in a state law that people may not smoke outdoors in certain areas, the bill crosses an important threshold between state power and command and local decision-making."

Unfortunately, he had to admit that cities and parks departments already have authority to ban smoking at specific sites. With so many restrictions on smoking, one wonders where the dopers will toke their weed, if enough fools vote to make marijuana legal in the upcoming election.

"Too much law make people mad."
