[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things are far worse now in urban areas across America than they were in 2005, which was probably the high water mark of urban revitalization. Progressive policies without any check from republicans in cities and places like MoCo have led to soaring taxes to fund pensions, reduced services, and tolerance of and embrace of bad behavior. The whole “victimless crime” decriminalization of marijuana has been the latest thing that blows my mind. In the late 90s you couldn’t go out to a bar without smelling like an ashtray. We applauded when smoking bans were passed. Now we are assaulted by marijuana smoke outside, everywhere, and no one bats an eye. Young men are unemployed and shiftless—but again, we are told that it’s due to structural something or something. At some point, the tide will turn back towards sanity, but there are still enough clueless progressive voters to keep writing blank checks to liberal municipalities. When Chicago finally goes bankrupt (hard to fund a $45k pp debt with 8% interest rates) maybe some rationality will return.[/quote]

You can't smoke weed in restaurants. Dumb comparison.

Legalizing weed and banning smoking indoors is not apples to apples.

Would you rather smell weed or cigarettes? I'll take weed 10 out of 10 times. Plus, I don't mind if people are walking around stoned. Who cares..they are relaxed. Not a bother what so ever. Way better than the crack epidemic. [/quote]

I'd take cigarettes. Or neither, how about that? It's called "politeness"[/quote]
