From Eric Dondero:

Not all is well in hyper-liberal San Francisco. Some of the local civil libertarians are rebelling against ever encroaching Nanny-State rules and regulation.

The famed Borderlands in the Mission district, described by the SFist blog as a "libertarian SF cafe bookstore," posted the following sign in the window:

Our Nanny State Would Like to Remind Us: Smoking Only 1) at the curb, or 2) if no curb, At least 15 ft. from exits, entrances, operable windows, & vents.
You should also eat all your vegetables, chew with your mouth closed, brush your teeth, and stop slouching already. Did you write a thank-you note to Aunt Edna for those nice socks? Good. Now finish your homework and get to bed at a reasonable time.

We would like to add that, while slowly poisoning yourself it's a good idea to remain 15 ft (4.572 m) away from open buckets of gasoline or similar fuels. It would also be best to avoid mummies, the Scarecrow of Oz, Frankenstein's Monster, and other flammable film icons.

Of course the above admonitions apply to tobacco as well as anything else you might be smoking nudge, nudge, wink, wink. The lighting of incense is also heavily discouraged. We cannot legally forbid the application of way too much perfume/cologne but...

Borderlands is a home of sorts to the annual Promestheus Awards for libertarian Sci Fi, sponsored by the Libertarian Futurist Society.
