Yes, liberty allows us the ability to vote for, or against bans things like...well, smoking. Democracy is grand.

So you're wanting to pervert the purpose of liberty for your own, selfish desires? Okay, so let me buy a gun for personal protection and then use it to kill someone. Bad analogy? Not true!

Voting to take away someone's right to smoking is impeding on their rights. Shooting someone with your gun is impeding on their rights.

Also, America is NOT a democracy for a reason. Democracies imply mob rule. Republics prevent this. This is why America is a REPUBLIC. It baffles my mind how many people try and refer to the USA's form of government as a democracy. Even our own President... the amount of ignorance in the world is amazing.


Republic: a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them.

Are you sure you know what a republic is? I was just making a statement based on the definition.
