No, I am referring to regulations on health affecting bars and restaurants. Again, you are being deliberatley obtuse.

I am trying not to be obtuse. Sorry, if you percieve it that way. I am trying to make the point that behavior of any type that is not protected by founding government documents is subject to legal regulation. Your objection to that does not change the fact.

It's beginning to grate.

Please accept my apologies.

I am trying to make the point that behavior of any type that is not protected by founding government documents is subject to legal regulation.

I would think that private property rights, whether the property is open, at the invitation of the owner, to the public, or not, is protected by the founding government documents.
Unless there is a pressing, documented, scientifically proven, health risk attached to a specific situation, the rights of a property owner to allow, or disallow, the use of a legal commodity should be upheld.
