The same situation exists with smoking.  Since leaving the enlightened
realm of Minnesota for the barbaric land of Illinois, I have been told
countless times in restaurants that if the smoke is bothering me that
I must be A) stupid, B) overly sensitive, C) some kind of jerk.  Why
people believe they have the right to inflict their noise or pollution
on me is beyond my understanding.  Is there any kind of legal protection
against either of these practices?
