Shoot myself in the foot by mentioning his name, but anyway:
...then Hitler came for us, and there was no-one left to help.
(or some such quote)
You get the point, though:
Where will it stop if they are allowed to be less than universal?
no smokers
no alcoholics
no overweight people
no extreme sports participants
no standard sports participants
no people who go to the gym less than three times a week and fail in their duty to eat a strict diet regulated by a dietician
...
no seriously ill people
no ill people
no-one who needs it and can't pay for it themselves...
Yeah, it sounds far fetched, but would anyone have thought that smoking could be banned in public places 30 years ago?
Once a precedent is set, things tend to creep.
I'm not a smoker, but i do believe in freedom.
