I LOVE how uptight people blow everything out of proportion. Tell them a simple joke, the next thing you know all civil liberties are gone. Restricting any freedom is the same as restricting all freedoms.

I think smoking is a disgusting, useless habit. So I don't do it. But I don't give a rat's ass if other people do. Smoking also hurts other people, but it is not up to me to take this freedom away.

Now everyone repeat this and replace "smoking" with something they find objectionable.
