Well, if the Antismokers believe this strongly enough, they should be more than happy to show their belief in what they claim to be true by signing a funding guarantee for the first few years (say 3 to 5) of an imposed smoking ban. If the organizations claim not to have the money to guarantee such funding, well, since they “know” that it won’t actually be needed, the paid personnel and exectives and board members pushing the ban should also be more than happy to show their belief with the weight of their pocketbooks.
Unless they’e lying. Then it might cost them money. In such a case they’ll simply try to ignore such an invitation to success… just as they’ve ignored it in every smoking ban battle where I’ve proposed it over the past 20 years. They know it would cost them money, their own money, and they know that the only money they’re willing to risk is “other people’s money.”
Come on Antismokers! Show your faith in what you preach and sign the papers that will get you your smoking ban! Heck, show your TRUE faith by guaranteeing the INcrease in revenue that you promise will come from all the nonsmokers who simply stay at home nowadays because of the deadly clouds of smoke in the casinos.
You’ll get what you want and you won’t have to pay a dime! *IF* you’re telling the truth that is.
You ARE, after all, telling the truth, right?
Aren’t you?
