Colorado has upheld a ban on smoking inside ones own home. It seems a homeowner in Boulder Colorado shares a wall with their neighbor, and their neighbor filed an injunction to start this process that has become a downhill slide. 

Now, I'm not a fan of cigarette smoke.  GPC should not even be considered tobacco, and I've found that there is an ultra cheap Chinese and Vietnamese cigarette sold in Seattle that's worse than GPC's.  They are not tobacco like a Montecristo cigar or organic Virginia cut burly pipe tobacco. 

My fear and loathing lies in the control.  Gays and lesbians have long argued that they should be allowed to do what they want in their own house.  They are adults and can make their own decisions.  Abortion advocates have fought for the right to control their own body.

We'll see where all this legislated morality takes us.

Here is an article that questions intrusions into privacy and then asks does anyone care.  I find it ironic that this was a "directed link" which was feed to me based on my prior surfing habits.

The real irony is that in the Peoples Republic of Washington, there is a committee that is in place to see if they need to be the chosen few who dictate what the privacy boundaries are.  It's kinda like...

"We are all equal, just some are more equal than others."

The article even alludes to the fact that people are not smart enough to understand privacy and what it is.  That may be true, but do you need to create a committee that controls that? 

I'm starting to think a little beach front home in the Philippines with no computers in it might be a good idea.  Then again, this comment will be found in 20 years and label me un american and succeed in getting me fired, kicked out of a companies board, or removed from office.
