While it is reasonable to expect parents to refrain from smoking around their children, it is downright disturbing to see how intent, how positively gleeful Banzhaf sounds as he explicates his proposal to separate children of smokers from their parents. Knowing the left, it wouldn’t be surprising at all if smoking was just a pretext for them to further weaken parents’ control over their children:
“’With great power comes great responsibility’ is more than a catch-phrase from a Spiderman movie,’ Banzhaf told the conference.”
“Attendees were instructed how to inject parental smoking in custody proceedings and how to deny custody to parents who smoke. Banzhaf explained several cases where parents lost custody of their kids because they smoked.
‘We, as attorneys, probably have greater power than other professionals to right wrongs, and to change society for the better, because we can use the tremendous power of law for the public good rather than just to benefit paying clients. And you, as family attorneys, can and should be using the great power of law to right serious wrongs being done to children,’ Banzhaf told the conference.”

I don’t think people should smoke but that’s my opinion. I don’t go around telling people that they shouldn’t smoke. They are adults and have to make their own choices. Stop trying to run people’s lives. That’s what’s wrong with this country. The government has their nose in stuck in everything. Go take a good long look in the mirror and work on your own life.
