Is there anyplace we don't have to shut down and deny the masses their right to pacify the needs of a few?

You don't have a "right" to go to a ballpark. It's private property and the owner is choosing not to sell a certain product at a certain time.

Wear a mask...or stay home.

Actually, if you don't like the ballpark's rules, you're the one who should stay home.

Sure, I have a "right" to go to the ballpark, this is America. Other than me breaking some law, what "right" does the ballpark have for keeping me out? The "I refust the right..." syndrome went out the door with the advent of civil rights.
And, it is quite obvious from the story that the "owner" is not "choosing" anything, but is being coerced into having a "Peanut Free Day". Otherwise, "Peanut Free Days" would have already been a "feature" of the park before the mother complained. Wear a mask...or stay home.
Actually, if you don't like the ballpark's rules, you're the one who should stay home."
Oh, now YOU have the "right" to tell me to "stay home". You're saying the same thing I said, except pointing it at me rather than "bubble boy".

Sometimes "modern" is just another word for "picky".

"Modernman" well you sure picked a great rino name. How about people are responsible for their own children? Or is that just too old fashioned for you?

You're right. Everyone but the peanut boy and his mom should stay home. That way, you can be happy about the preservation of the ballclub owner's private property rights, while the owner loses his shirt. But I don't think the owner would be too happy.

This may be news to you, but businessmen prosper by making their customers happy, not through breastbeating about their property rights, or by pandering to peanut people or third parties who beat their breats about the property rights of businesses they don't financially support.

BTW, you don't sound like a Marxist.
