In other words, clean air zones would become the default, not the exception. They finally found a topic close enough to my heart to drag me to a council meeting. My ^^FLAME^^ is: What sort of hypocrisy led us to the place we are now? Why can't I burn my (organic) trash in my back yard if smokers can burn their (toxic) trash anywhere they walk? How can people be so STUPID as to do something to themselves that's so OBVIOUSLY deadly? And obnoxious? (This flame is getting obnoxious too, that's enough...)
