    I've recently been convinced that it's the use of perfumes/cologne.

    Clearly Gay Marriage.

    Everyone loves a summer wedding.

    At Christmas, when a nice fire in the hearth would be nice, then flag burning might be the more pressing issue.

    I guess I missed the part in civics class that said people should only debate/deal with problems if they were the most important issue facing the country.

    That's OK.

    I missed the 'L' in option 2 on first read.

    I thought poor Bat's was giving us a Haysian-if-ya-ban-smoking-ya-gotta-ban-everything analogy...

    I think the most important issue is that we do not have enough bars to frequent that are absent smoking (its smelly), loud music (ear damage), woodburning pizza ovens (air pollution), salted peanuts (both salt and peanuts are bad for you), barstools (it is healthier to stand up), televisions (radiation), fried foods (cause cancer and make you fat), fragrances(health), and alcohol (baaad for you). That's the kind of bar we could all enjoy!

    I suspect the gay thing will get more voters to the polls.

    There's a play in there somewhere.

    Bats saw Lieutenant of Inishmore last night. It's Martin McDonagh's new play. If you make it to the city this summer you should check it out.

    I vote for gay marriage. I think it is important that everyone be treated the same under the law. If homosexual people want to marry each other (just like heteros do) there is no reason that they shouldn't. As for the flag burning thing, I really don't care either way.
