I see you just blew off the public vs. private property

Any privately owned business that invites the general public into its premesis is semi-public. This is why you cannot discrimiate against blacks, women, gays, etc. There are certain obligations that attach when inviting the public on to your premisis. Just by virture of your private ownership does not allow you to make up all of the rules. Would I ever support smoking bans in private homes and cars, absolutely not. Would I support resonable restrictions in places of public accomdation, you bet.
