Yeah, I'm much more inclined to go this route.  I'm not a "townhall"
type of guy.  But, I don't mind talking directly to someone who takes
their job seriously.

Re: smoking... Who cares?  As Russ said, our civil liberties
(corporeal or platonic) are already in such disarray that any victory
we may obtain with regards to running our own private businesses will
be Pyrrhic anyway.  Though I appreciate and agree with Paul's and
Keith's motives.  We may as well just let the social and religious
fascists have their way.  I'll pretend to believe a law banning
smoking is good for the "public health" and I'll pretend to worship
Jesus Christ as long as they'll shut up and get some real work done.
