Ace, how do you feel about restrictions on tobacco companies promoting cigarettes to kids? Are there any examples of government restrictions on advertising that you are comfortable with?

oh, absolutely. i have no trouble making logical distinctions between the restrictions on marketing cigarettes, alcohol, etc. to kids and the question of marketing drive-through toys. just saying it out loud is almost humorous…

as Obdicut said, it’s about where to draw the line…but this line seems simpler to draw than most.
