Two referenda in North Dakota.

Win one.

Win the other.

http :// www .wday,com /election/

That represents a quarter of the population in the state.

That should send a powerful message to the legislature.

It's all Fargo and West Fargo.

Meaning the other three quarters do not support a smoking ban.

Given that people can live anywhere they want, why would ANYone live in North Dakota?
When I was in Minneapolis, I was shocked to see licence plates from North and South
Dakota. I'd never seen them anywhere else. I wanted to ask the drivers why, but I knew
what the answer would be. I was born here. All my friends live here. I'm too lazy to move.

People say the same everywhere. It's the human condition, I would have thought there'd be
fewer yuppies in Fargo, but they're everywhere. There are even Starbucks stores in ND.

I should be obvious that selling cups of coffee isn't enough. There's something fishy
going on in the back room. Something involvng PODS.

Or perhaps they are quite happy not to join the rat race that is
Chicago/Detroit/Minneapolis/Etc. Not everybody WANTS to live where and how
you live. Two out of three of the reasons you state above are probably
fairly accurate. I'm just a bit surprised that someone who bases many of his
own arguments on personal choice would find them anything but perfectly
normal and sound choices.

Just when I thought Robert's paranoia couldn't become any more bizarre. :)

Sour grapes.

Addict evasion.

Junkie talk.
