I finally got out of the People's Republic of Colorado and am spending the night in Nebraska. I am sitting in a bar across the street from the truck stop here and, shockingly, you can actually smoke in the bar!
I looked up the Nebraska smoking ban law. It seems the government of this state is a rarity on this end of the country. They actually allow their citizens to think and choose for themselves. How unusual! The Nebraska law bans smoking in all government buildings but leaves it up to the private business owners to decide for themselves if they want to allow smoking, have designated smoking areas, or not allow smoking at all. Imagine that, a government entity that actually tends to the government and allows the free citizens to think for themselves and make their own choices.
So I'm enjoying a cold beer, having a smoke, and can spend a little time relaxing now that I am back in the good old US of A once again. It's nice to be in a reasonable place for a change.
While it lasts. I'm sure the PC fascists will eventually take things over here too and the Nanny State will be alive and well.
