I recall that you did not appreciate having that same logic applied to you by Magik when you wanted to "debate" certain Constitutional rights - even though they don't apply to you because you aren't an American citizen.
Your response then was to say something along the lines of "So, since I'm not part of the group affected - I'm not allowed to discuss it?" You then reminded him that IW was an international forum and that members should not be restricted to participating only in those threads that directly affected them.
Yet now you are advocating the same thing.

Cerek, you win my hero-for-the-day award.
As for the localized issue, Yorick, yes, NYC has different issues than a lot of places. I'd submit to you, however, that since I live and work smack dab in downtown Chicago, the smoking ban would be a very similar situation here.
