We all know that tobacco smoking is harmful. What about the rights of the majority of people who don't smoke?

This seed technology is a fundamental violation of the human rights of indigenous people. It is a breach of the right of self-determination.

We own the vast majority of rights in the borough. But a survey has to be completed before anything can move forward.

There's not a majority either way anymore and it forces people to work together. That's good for the community.

Well, I'm not here to impinge on anybody else's lifestyle. If I'm in a place where I know I'm going to harm somebody's health or somebody asks me to please not smoke, I just go outside and smoke. But I do resent the way the nonsmoking mentality has been imposed on the smoking minority. Because, first of all, in a democracy, minorities do have rights. And, second, the whole pitch about smoking has gone from being a health issue to a moral issue, and when they reduce something to a moral issue, it has no place in any kind of legislation, as far as I'm concerned.

It's really become a political issue -- it's on hold until you get a majority government.
