Which I think we've established as a poor standard by bullshit consensus.
Hells yeah. Unfortunately, BC/BS does not yet recognize the word of the Buffistas as being the One True Way.
Effers.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
Even though I live in a place that doesn't have much of anything except bond issues on the ballot, these policy discussions are cool to read and helps remind me that apathy is not necessarily the default political position. I need help on a Buffy quote, though, and decided you guys would be the best resource. The quote I'm thinking of is in the episode where Ethan transforms Giles into a demon like creature; Buffy is ready to kill him but then stops and explains that she knew it was Giles because the look in his eyes was a combination of.... love and disappointment?... affection and resignation?. Anyway, can anyone point me in the direction of that quote? I am going through a rough spot with my very bright, very verbal and very willful teen-age son and I'd like to adopt it as my personal mantra for a bit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
IMO, smoking bans are for the benefit of the staff, not the nonsmoking customers.

lcat, here's the quote:
Giles: How did you know it was me?
Buffy: Only you can look that annoyed with me, Giles.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My smoking is not a healthful thing to do, but there are also other unhealthy things that so many people do, that it gets tiring being the only group that is taxed and villified as much as smokers are.
You know I think you're sexy, anyway, right Smokey McBlacklung?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Speaking purely anecdotally, a number of smokers I know here in NYC are happy to get home from a night out not smelling like an ash tray. If nothing else, it saves on dry cleaning.

I have voted. The DH and I waded through the California propositions over the weekend, and only had to agree to disagree on one or two if I remember correctly.
And, 1a-e are not taxes -- they're bond measures to borrow the money, and the payments will be made out of the general fund. Theoretically, taxes can't be raised in the future to make the payments. (Insert children crying, "You're mortgaging our future!" here.)

I voted some yes, some no on 1a-e.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I voted some yes, some no on 1a-e.
which seems the best approach.
