No matter how stupid smoking is. People should have the right to make mistakes and to smoke. Smoke-free restuarant is a practice of discrimination against certain group of population.
I personally don't smoke. But I am a politically smoker.
The article about Buicks requries registration so I couldn't read it, but the Buick-in-China kicker is that the majority of cars marketed in China as Buicks aren't even Buicks! They are actually made by Daewoo (GM bought Daewoo after they went belly up). Every time I see some fat cat feather dusting his (or his boss's) Buick I just want to tell him: there is nothing American about that car except the name (and the shitty quality). Keep up the good work!
