Poll question: If you had to ban public breastfeeding to ban public smoking, would you do it?
Edited on Thu Nov-30-06 05:19 PM by LoZoccolo
Say that the only way the legislature could impose a ban on public smoking was to include a ban on public breastfeeding in the same bill, and you are a legislator. How would you vote?

2. Wouldn't a better vote be excessive auto exhaust?
Public breast feeding doesn't put another person's physical health at risk. Auto exhaust and second-hand smoke does. Or am I missing something?

3. If you abstain from voting, the Republicans will run an attack ad upon your next election.
They will say that you "like to stare at breasts all the time". Therefore you have to vote on this bill.

5. I've seen the full parking lots at topless bars
I'll take my chances with the electorate who thinks there's nothing wrong with looking at women's breasts.

9. It's not so much how many people think there's nothing wrong...
...so much as how many people think there are a lot of other people who don't think there's nothing wrong.

19. I'd see all that, and raise you a ban on Woody Allen movies.
Plus the movie Whale Rider:
