Authoritarian - exercising complete or almost complete control over the will of another or of others: an authoritarian parent.

Aiken County Councilman Chuck Smith said he plans to encourage the governing body to tighten the smoking ordinance it passed last year.

In May, Smith asked Council’s Judicial and Public Safety Committee to look at the current ban and consider addressing the fact that smoking is still permitted in private rooms in restaurants and bars. Smith said the provision does not protect the workforce in those establishments from secondhand smoke.

The committee is scheduled to look at the smoking ordinance Tuesday. If they choose to amend it, they will pass it along to Council as a whole for first reading

If we hadn’t become so “civilized” in modern day and still engaged in tar and featherings, Aiken County Councilman Chuck Smith would be a great candidate for one.  This asshole thinks that someone made him Lord of the manor allowing him to impose his will on every business throughout the land.  He has no respect for the right of private property.  I wonder how he would feel if we went into his home and started dictating to him what he can or cannot do inside.

What’s really amusing is that if you visit the Aiken County Web site it introduces all the members of the County Council with the title “Honorable.”  What a laugh that was when I saw it.  There is nothing honorable about a man who tramples his neighbors’ property rights to force his own view of morality upon them.
