Interesting development in regards to personal privacy -- a Colorado HOA has ordered that a couple cannot smoke in their own townhome. If they want to smoke they have to go out into the street. 

Other homeowners believe, as with loud music, that the rights of a community trump the rights of individual residents. The HOA is also concerned that tenants will sue those homeowners for exposure to second-hand smoke and this could be a liability issue.

I'm, of course, not a smoker and have always applauded the laws that mean I don't have to walk through a haze to get into work or try to enjoy my dinner with the smoking "section" drifting over to me. However, for awhile now I've wondered if the anti-smoking campaign is a precursor to an anti-religion campaign. For the good of the individual, and of course the community, we're going to start limiting your rights to make it harder and harder for you to continue your destructive behavior.

I know, I know...call me a conspiracy nut. :p
