This also leaves the way clear for me to try to force others to do things my way on public property. I can try to force an initiative for not allowing sobriety on public property. Or forcing everyone to carry around a jar of Vlasic pickles everytime they are on public property, and fling little pickles up into the air. Or something equally inane...

I guess I really meant "on public property," Thorfinn (if you're still around to read this). This would allow non-smokers to avoid the annoying smokers on the street, and we could provide that the city must have at least 20% smoking and 20% non-smoking bars under the building code (thus providing for at least 1 in 5 bars for either camp at any point in time, and giving the middle 60% as a big leeway to let the market work out the balance).
As for the Vlasics, yes, you could try to force that initiative. As with all public property issues, it would depend on what you could convince your fellow citizens and city council members to support. I think Vlasics would be a quick loser, but sure go ahead and try.
