Whenever a new tax is passed, I do react negatively and then I shrug my shoulders and say, 'oh well- there's more proof that Libertarians are necessary', and I get to grinning again.Mike Kolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573721231319244630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5366199.post-1116978478117341722005-05-24T18:47:00.000-05:002005-05-24T18:47:00.000-05:00I think you guys are too depressed about this!

Plus since my Republican counselor voted for it I will be watching and if any restaurant closes in this district after the ban takes affect don't think I'm not going to call her on it.

And in a few more years, it will grow a bit more restrictive. The practical person in me has to admit that this is a good strategy: get your foot in the door, and then push a little further after some time passes. It's a sound long-term strategy.<BR/><BR/>It's also a sad day for liberty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
