Quotes

  • It should be up to each bar owner and patron to decide if they want to smoke or not.
  • If your person doesn’t get enough votes, you lose. I don’t want to hear it. There are more than two choices and you are allowed to vote for whoever you want. This is America. If you can’t get the votes to win, tough shit.
