I'm no longer in college, I graduated in May. Thanks for caring! The flaw in your argument is that DUI IS outlawed. Like DUI, you can still smoke in public places where it has been banned--you'll just be punished if you're caught. You might be fined or asked to put out your smoke or move to a designated smoking area. I don't know where all the racial issues come from. I think that is another thread. As for it not being "American." I can't speak for Canada and South and Latin America, but in the United States, our elected officials can ban anything within the legal confines of the Constitution that the majority of the electorate wants banned.
so banning gay marriage, abortion, booze, etc... would be cool with you as long as our elected officials ban it within the legal confines of the Constitution and that the majority of the electorate wants it banned.
