Bubbles in the Bathtub

An interesting article here:

http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050802/OPINION01/508020352

equating a ban on balloons (protecting marine animals) to a ban on smoking (protecting humans). The author essentially lambasts the city council of Louisville, Kentucky because they failed to pass a smoking ban in the city after previously banning balloons.

Interesting argument, but I am guessing that there a lot fewer balloon advocates in Louisville, Kentucky than there are smoking "rights" advocates.
