My Rights vs. Your Rights

My right to breathe trumps your right to kill both of us. Lee pointed out a great story earlier: California counties are beginning to ban smoking on beaches.

As one respondent in the Fark thread said:

You’re not a martyr. You’re not a patriot or the last defender of American freedom because you have the courage and manly fortitude to slowly kill yourself in the stupidest method possible. You are most likely a self-serving, weak-willed, egomaniacal, out of shape asshole who, statistically speaking, probably has trouble climbing more than three stairs without hacking up brown lung butter. Sadly, smoking will not kill you quickly enough to prevent you from reproducing, thereby frustrating both Darwin and the rest of us.

How’s that brown lung butter taste, guys?
