Our Christian founding fathers developed the concept of property rights out of the Judeo-Christian tradition-

Alan was correct, at least you are back on topic.
The founders were not all Christian, some were, some weren't.
"Thou shalt not steal" established property rights.
Between humans, the right to control your own property was agreed upon.

"Rights come from God- not human beings" Alan Keyes 1996 And in this case human beings have taken away the God given rights of a private business owner to determine how he will conduct his business.

I hope you don't breathe the air in or around any populated city, or ever get stuck in traffic behind a diesel truck.
There are more carcinogens in the very air that you breathe than in a cigarette.
