Smoking and Praying don't mix

When government seeks to be fair and evenhanded, enforcement of regulations can get ridiculous. The latest example is a British order to post no-smoking signs in all churches, attempting to solve a problem that never existed. Amusingly, the notices were sent out on Feb. 21, Ash Wednesday. In California, we've had smoke free workplaces for so long, I'd like to see the government-mandated no-smoking signs taken down. After all, a no-smoking sign in a California restaurant is about as necessary as a no-defecation sign in front of a urinal (I'd like to see the pictograph for that!).
