The response of Germans interviewed on TV offered some interesting insight into the national character. Many want a uniform national law. One woman said that if she went to another state, she wouldn’t know what was allowed. Is it really so hard to read a little sign on the door of a bar? And what does this poor lady do when she crosses a national border? I am constantly amazed at the need of some Germans to have things regulated from the top down.
Its about time the freedom-loving smoking side finally mounted a defense to the anti-smoking ninnies. Unfortunately, international precedent only works for lefties and I know they won’t invoke it in this case because it doesn’t suit their purpose.
