Anybody notice those crazy Frenchies out trampling on everyone's civil rights again? To wit:
PARIS - A ban on smoking in public spaces came into effect Thursday, a change that may alter the image of a country defined in part by its smoky cafes and cigarette-puffing intellectuals.
France’s 15 million smokers will be banned from lighting up in workplaces, schools, airports, hospitals and other “closed and covered” public places. More than 175,000 agents are to enforce the ban, handing out fines of $88 for smokers and $174 for employers who look the other way.
In a year, the ban will extend to cafes and restaurants — sure to be the moment of truth for a certain image of France, where writers like Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre are remembered with cigarettes dangling from their mouths.
I was going to get a life, but this was easier.

They're trying to get the rest of their populace to quit, not just their military.
When you find a big kettle of crazy, it's best not to stir it.

I'm still trying to convince Mrs. Mo that the smoke alarm is not an oven timer.
