It is called political activism... get involved in the process... propose ballot issues etc.

It is so easy to knock this or knock that, but it is very true that until you have seen the rest of the world it is hard to appreciate all that we have here in the .

So playing devils advocate are you not in favor of health standards Slinger? What about seat belts? Drinking and driving? So where would you draw the line as a politician and why?

It is easy to say that certain basic freedoms have been taken away (smoking for instance) but in certain cases people are just to stupid for their own good... (that ought to stir things up). Why would anyone want to smoke based on the documented medical evidence?? Because it is their right to kill themselves from lung cancer if they wish... however it is not their right to kill me from second hand smoke...

This discussion could go on forever, but the important thing to remember is that you can actually discuss this and not end up in jail... one of the great freedoms of this country.
