Sheesh.

And of course we still have the situation of people asking others for a light which generally works quite well and once the cigarette of the arsonist is lit, well....

The whole thing is crazy and the fact that we have a Human Rights law that is used to argue the case instead of the 'he can get a light anyway' approach doesn't improve matters one bit
