Opinion
"When I think about how unfair the new Arizona smoking ban law (which includes all bars and pool rooms)
is to those of us who own small businesses and are just trying to make a living the best we can, I think back
to a quote from former President Ronald Reagan."

"Nations crumble from within when the citizenry asks of government those things which the citizenry
might better provide for itself. .... I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless
government is limited. There is a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of
physics: AS GOVERNMENT EXPANDS, LIBERTY CONTRACTS." Ronald Reagan

"My position is clear on this issue if you can call a position of questions, clear. If the government can pass
a law making it illegal to smoke in a bar for heavens sake, what will keep them from someday determining
that eating fast food is so dangerous to your health, that they pass a law, that in turn, closes all fast food
restaurants? I mean really, even if you don't own a small business that will, without question, be adversely
affected by the no smoking law, you have to ask yourself, where has all our freedom to make our own
choices gone? I really do not need all this "help". Or better yet, where and when does all this "help" stop?
