Al Gore is a disgrace to Tennessee. As a Tennessean, I don't claim him as a fellow Tennessean. He should just stay out there in California and ramble on about nothing till he dies.
I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, but I don't like when the government starts telling private business owners how to run their business. It should be the independent business owner's choice whether or not to allow smoking in their establishments. "Big Brother" needs to stay out of it.
