If an ultra liberal should become president in two years, I will probably be pretty cranky for awhile though.

Yes, the city of Greenville, yes in South Carolina, recently passed a total smoking ban within the city limits. I too am a never-has-smoked person who favors using market forces, and not government, to achieve a smoke free environment. Too bad those favoring the ban didn't want to rely on non-violence to achieve what they wanted, and instead chose force.
Worse yet, South Carolina passed a "Marriage Protection" constitutional amendment that does nothing of the sort. If people want to protect marriage, they should forbid the state to perform marriages at all, leaving the field of "civil unions" to government.
To anyone else, if you want to protect marriage, get government out of it.
