The air I breathe. You don't have a right to make me breathe your smoke. As long as you keep your smoke to yourself, I'm happy. $ If you want legislative control over what's yours, First of all, I shouldn't have to ask someone to stop trying to kill me. Beyond that, if I ask someone to desist, she may refuse. Then I can either a) personally force her to stop, or b) have a third party force her to stop. In some cases, I'll be unable to stop her on my own, and in any case it's safer for me to have a third party take care of it. So yeah, when the assholes out there try to fuck with what I consider mine, I need some folks in blue suits to step in and shove them out of the way. -L.
