The Empirical Manifesto

Unfortunately Steve, that someone is not always me. We all have our different motivations for taking action on various items, and this case was no different. I smoke cigars, and quite infrequently these days, as it turns out. I'm really not affected by the proposed smoking ban, and in fact would better enjoy a restaurant smoke-free. But that's obviously not the point.

And for the record:
