Instead of endless arguing I'll simply point out, I espouse my beliefs, noone else and I do not lay claim anyone believes exactly as I do. I believe in compromise. I am okay with my rights as a smoker to be be lessened because the majority voted for it. I can still smoke in my house, in my car and outside, until I can't I am willing to make that concession. Now, come into my house, my car and tell me I can't smoke there or give me a ticket for smoking outside on a sidewalk and I'll have to fight about that.

It's better at the state level because the voters voted. And the issue can be placed on the ballot again and the ban lifted by the voters.

I believe most people are more willing to compromise if they have the choice to control their state's policy. There is no compromise in the federal government anymore.... It all depends on who is in power as to what will be law, what laws are enforced and what laws aren't. No compromise, no recognition of the individual state's and people's rights, cultures or beliefs.

You guys keep questioning my beliefs but not one of you answered why it should be a Federal case for a judge to have the 10 Commandments up in his courtroom and not one of his judgments were ever proven or even questioned to have a religious bias to them.

Why is it ok for the Federal government to prohibit a man's right to have a religious article in his office, especially if no one can prove he has bias or uses that religion to do his job?

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
