Remember that one time when the Minnesota government shutdown was ended by the threat of a statewide booze cutoff? That worked pretty well! You can take away everyone's health care, unions, jobs, retirement, education, public roads, hope and the fillings in their teeth, BUT YOU CANNOT HAVE THE BOOZE. Michigan's bar owners are pretty much hoping for a repeat victory with a slightly smaller target demographic: Michigan lawmakers. Bar owners
Dear bar owners - stfu. You may have a dip in crowds, but soon the bar will be filled with drunk assholes again. When the banned restaurant/bar smoking in my state, the owners all cried that the end of the world was nigh. Uh oh...the bars and restaurants are filled again...whua happened?
We went through the ban years ago here in Minnesota. After a couple of years all the smokers died of hyperthermia. Win win… unless, of course, you smoked.
I love a good beer, not that lite crap, and a good beer has many characteristics to enjoy. One of them is the smell. I’m sorry but I’m not very sympathetic to the smokers that make my beer smell like an ashtray. Steve Martin has a joke… Smoker: Mind if I smoke? Person next to smoker: Mind if I fart?
And what the hell is with throwing cigarette butts out of your car window? The world is not your ashtray. And get the hell off my lawn!!! I need a beer. Harumph!

You mean like if they outlaw unions.
I call that tough love, stinky tough love.
Fire Marshall Bill?

Agreed, but honestly, in a bar in Michigan, watchout for firsthand stupidity.

is there a way we can just generally ban lawmakers?

Where does Sarah stand on this, and what does she think of those cut-rate smokes named Maverick?
