					<description>Love Penn &amp;#38; Teller. Did you see the episode where they got a bunch of tree-huggers to sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide?

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pickinglosers.com/binary_poll/jg/20070619/government_right_ban_smoking_public_places&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;But I feel the same as you on this issue&lt;/a&gt;. Instead of an all-out ban, don't you think a compromise could have been found through the licensing regime? One of the problems with that is that most smokers, who would benefit most from a compromise, &lt;a href=&quot;http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2007/07/charles-kennedy-hypocrisy-and.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;don't seem inclined to accept one&lt;/a&gt;. And if they won't, I end up feeling like they had it coming to them, even though &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.robfisher.net/blog/archive/2007/07/02/smoking-ban-resistance/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;I don't agree with a ban on principle&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
