<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial size=2>Either become a warm, kind, caring,
evolved passenger on spaceship Moscow, sensitive to the health and emotional
welfare of your fellow travelers or we'll destroy your
reputation, confiscate your ability to feed your family and drive your
unfeeling ass out of town.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Why do certain, contestably well
intentioned, people feel the need to band together to bend others to their
will?</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>When the disabled fellow and his person
felt that they weren't being made as welcome as they would have liked at one
restaurant they opted to go to another. Good call! Why not have left it at that?
Why the overwhelming need to be vindictive, organize a mob to punish the
first establishments owner, force them, by God, to come around to their way
of thinking, even though the disruption was almost certainly the result of a
misunderstanding or a momentary lapse on the part of Mr. Johnson and/or the
caregiver/aid/friend/whatever?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To a lesser extent, the same applies to Bucer's.
They have a smoking room. You may not like it but you are not required to
frequent the establishment. Choose one of the many other businesses that are
more to your liking and leave Bucer's to cater to the clientele that appreciates
the increasingly rare opportunity to enjoy a smoke with like minded patrons.
Attempting to pass legislation to force a private property owner to comply with
your desires under penalty of loss of livelihood is meddling in another's
bailiwick writ large. Lets face it, the likelihood that Mr. Rigby or Mr.
Carscallen are feeling seriously neglected or that their wellbeing is negatively
impacted by not being able to down yet another high priced cup of joe is
doubtful. Drink in Pullman if it's more to your liking, don't deprive
others into having no place to gather, all to satisfy your personal
whim.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since when does the majority get to dictate
their way of thinking on all others, in all matters? Is George Orwell and Aldous
Huxley no longer read as part of a "public education?" I guess the idea that
someone might want to go their own way has become unfathomable and group think
the order of the day. Liberal Moscow is turning into the Massachusetts
DMV.</FONT></DIV>
