It's amazing how people do not want the government coming in and changing their Social Security with slogans like "KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY SOCIAL SECURITY" or "KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY MEDICARE" because they feel it is an over step by the government and yet they claim a town should pass an ordinance that prohibits others from smoking on what is deemed to be a "Public Beach".
Simply put, keep government from pressing forward in places you don't want them but it is Ok for them to regulate something you don't like. I am not defending anyones right to smoke or have a smoke free beach or making any claim they are wrong about butts being unsightly and often times ingested by turtles. I'm simply trying to show where we need to decide what we want from our government. We can't have it both ways.
Make up your minds
