Gallagher wants to 'light up' in public - NewsChannel 9 WSYR:

Rocker Noel Gallagher has called on British authorities to axe the country's ban on smoking in public places.
Politicians in the former Oasis star's native England outlawed smoking in public places in 2007, and bars and gig venues now have outdoor zones where customers can puff cigarettes.
But Gallagher is urging the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, to overturn the ban.

I knew this was coming too.
Oh it's not all done yet,but I never assume the best anymore.Life has taught me better than that.
I wonder why this always seems to happen when we have so many liberal's in positions of political power.
When you go from one form of government to another do you suddenly lose the ability to think and decide for yourself?
Right now I'm only talking about America,but this issue is much,much bigger than  that.
