Today, the Virginia House of Delegates defeated a proposal by Governor Tim Kaine (D) to prohibit smoking in restaurants. Despite predictions from liberals that this would be a close vote, it was not. The final tally was 40-59 in favor of the bill. I am happy that my Delegate, Tim Hugo (R), voted against this bill.
This may be a minor issue, but it and many similar potential laws represent the war against liberty. Liberty has won this battle, but the war is never ending.

Liberty was definitely won. I'm happy. Virginia Republicans won't allow liberty to be taken away.
I don't think I understand why people want to ban smoking in restaurants. I realize smoking is bad for you, but isn't that a choice people make? I think if people are so much against smoking, then we should just make cigarettes illegal. This would eliminate the need for petty, non-smoking laws.
