This article states why smoking in public was banned. Though, having the choice to smoke when and where you want is a personal freedom that has been taken away. There are seperate sections of buildings when smoking was allowed. If you don't like it, choose not to do it.

My personal belief is that marriage is to be between a man and a woman, however, I also believe that is it not my place to judge anyone. Who am I to tell someone who to love? These days marriages that last are rare. If a same sex couple love each other and are happy together, I think they should be able to be married. There are a lot of same sex couple who have lived together as couple for a lot longer than most marriages last.

When I read "The nine justices are considering challenges to state and federal laws defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The two cases before it provide an important opportunity for Americans to reflect on three questions: What is marriage? Why does it matter for public policy? And what are the consequences of redefining marriage?" it blew my mind a little, because it is challenging every American to think about marriage. Not just as a sex (male or Female) thing but as a whole.

This is great idea but I have to agree that it is an invasion of privacy. Also stereotyping. If you drug test all welfare applicants then it is part of the process, just as you are drug tested for employment. I agree that many abuse the system but not because they are drug users but because they know how to get away with it.

When the judicial process has run its course the outcome is always unfavorable for one party or the other. In the case of George Zimmerman the call for another sentencing for his life has had an public outcry. Many of these groups are more extremists and have slowed the Zimmerman family from moving on with their lives.
