At least they're not banning men from flights. Didya See this post from Castle Argghhh? The City of Belmont has banned ALL smoking (outside, in your car, in the street, on the sidewalk) save from one's home. Now I don't smoke and I never have, but the logic of the city council members leaves something to be desired for rationale.

"We have a tremendous opportunity here. We need to pass as stringent a law as we can, I would like to make it illegal,” said Councilman Dave Warden. “What if every city did this, image [sic] how many lives would be saved? If we can do one little thing here at this level it will matter.”

Oh, and did you hear San Francisco closed down their JROTC program. They're going from 14 instructors to 9 instructors because they're loosing the federal funding from their decision/act. "We need to teach a curriculum of peace."
