Wade (gratuitous baiting of Sue up in Sandpoint). My guess? Roe v. Wade is safe. But we're finally going to rein it in somewhat with parental notification laws being upheld and partial-birth abortion being outlawed. *Court: Partial-birth abortion ban unconstitutional: 9th Circuit panel cites measure's lack of exception for mother's health/Associated Press -- Good.

Of course the cry baby non-smokers don't want any restrictions, but they want to place them on everyone else. You act like you can get cancer if you only go to non-smoking establishments.

The green efforts go further than asking guests to use towels and bed linens more than once (as they do at home), to conserve water and avoid flushing more detergent-laden water into sewers. It's also more than replacing incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs in guest rooms. Other green initiatives are more subtle - things a guest might never notice: recycling, low-flow faucets and showerheads, water-saving toilets, and the use of products that don't harm the environment or contribute to global warming.
