The bans on smoking everywhere came about because the majority rules.
I was born in 1940, almost everyone smoked and they smoked everywhere. This continued for many many years.
Then things began to change to what we have now. Majority still rules but the majority doesn’t like to breathe smoke when they go about their daily lives.
This is not rocket science.
I think you missed my point. Unlike a public place or bldg., a business is privately owned. People do not have to patronize it or work there if they object to the service, product or owner. the “majority rules” is also leading to the gays winning suits to force a business to bake cakes for their wedding, and to Hobby Lobby being in court. If the employees needed abortions on their healthcare so bad and Hobby Lobby didn’t provide it, they can’t find somewhere else to work? The gays can’t find another bakeshop? They are controlling private business.
“The bans on smoking everywhere came about because the majority rules.”
Or to be more specific, it was when the progressives transitioned societal thinking from being a Representative Republic to a Democratic Socialist Government. If we still lived in the former, then the only “majority” voice that would matter would be the name(s) on the deed of the property. Since the progressives have successfully tranistioned us to the latter, we now empower the government to project dictates.
You are celebrating the success of progressivism. This succes WILL lead to the government you have empowered projecting more dictates. In fact, I’d bet that this government will eventually mandate (dictate) that Churches must perform same sex marriage.
When you empower a government to project dictates, you shouldn’t be shocked when those in government become dictators.
