It’s hard to take someone seriously that only complains and expects the government to take care of a perceived problem and is not willing to do something for themselves.
Well that would be a stupid thing to do.

We wanted Longhorn for dinner and they weren't outside of our rules.

The rules are if it's more than a 15 minute wait I'll leave. No matter where or why.

We had a nice group of people all waiting patiently discussing how to get a smoking ban in place and how great it is in Lawrence to not have to deal with it. All the while the manager standing there looking at the empty section wondering how to get someone in there so she could make it worth having the 3 servers standing aroudn waiting for us.

When we left, the Health risk section had a single table and the waiting area was full.

That makes an impact as well.
