In Reply to: O/T Smoking ban posted by c-man on March 13, 2009 at 10:57:14:
MN started a statewide ban a couple of years ago- in all public places, factories, etc. Biggest opposition came from bar and restaurant owners, as if they were the only ones affected. Some bars found the exception that allowed smoking in a theatrical performance- so they issued tags reading "actor", and let patrons smoke. That got shot down within a few weeks. Service clubs objected with the argument, I fought for this country, now they tell me I can"t smoke at the club. It"s as ridiculous as saying an underage drinker should be left off because he"s old enough to serve his country. I cannot remember giving up a few years of my life to serve so that I could smoke- I thought it was for a bigger reason. My only brother had 33 years in the Army, smoked, died a miserable death from emphysema a few years after retiring. Only about 20% of the population smokes, while 100% breathes. If you"re going to have a ban, then enforce it. Sure hasn"t killed any of my smoking friends when they go outside the bar for a puff. I enjoy patronizing the local bars, but don"t come home smelling like a chimney. Never any shortage of discourteous smokers who think it"s fun to blow smoke in another"s face.

Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
