188. But it has
Edited on Thu Dec-08-05 11:07 AM by Cats Against Frist
Because it cannot be shown that all people who work in smoking enviornments get cancer. Only some might. That's no different than saying that some people might get their asses kicked if drinking is legal.

You said that because most people don't get drunk and beat up on someone. Most people who work in smoky bars do not get lung cancer. Some people might get beat up, and some people might get lung cancer.

And you made my point -- if all you have to do is present a compelling argument, then Rick Santorum's arguments that gays destroy the family are good enough to justify statewide initiatives against gay marriage.
