Think For Yourself!!!!!

I am taking a law class at my high school. Our teacher has openly admitted that she is liberal. Ok, so we get talking about current events. It was about the ban on smoking in a car with people under the age of 18. She said she agreed with it and asked the class of our opinion. Most of the class, too, agreed.

BUT....

She then continued on to say:

Doesn't that make you afraid of what the government will do next?
Will they ban smoking in your house?
How far will they go into your privacy?
Doesn't this scare you guys?

She kept pointing out things to that effect. Then, once again, she states that she is for it.. She again asks the class. Now, everyone votes against it. I'm like, how the hell did the whole class just change their opinions within five minutes because of what our teacher said. It just makes me want to scream "Think for yourselves idiots!” I don't know, but I just think it's stupid how everyone changed their mind so quickly. All because of what our left wing, nut job teacher pointed out. I know my opinion didn't change!

I think that the ban would be good because it would protect children. I don't think it will open up any more doors for the government to invade our privacy. If they even mentioned banning smoking in places such as our own homes, it would really "stir the pot" in America. Especially with the radicals that are gung-ho about their constitutional rights. Militia men would reap havoc! Well, I don't think it would be quite that bad, but there would be MANY furious people. I think the ban is good because people under 18 can't protect themselves from second hand smoke in cars. Therefore, I think it’s good for the government to step in. They may have no other way of transportation unless riding with a smoker such as their parent. In that case they have to suffer the second hand smoke. If this new law passed, they wouldn't have to suffer all the second hand smoke.

That thought may be totally discombobulated, but I think you get what I mean.
