Who's afflicting what on whom? When you walk into a bar that has smokers, YOU are self-inflicting the harm. Are you not?
This 'property rights' stuff is pretty tough to grasp.
"This 'property rights' stuff is pretty tough to grasp."
I find it amazing that something so simple "to grasp" is so difficult for some folks. If I believe that a certain place in this big ole world is dangerous for my health, I simply will CHOOSE not to go there. It's about choices. We all have those choices and that's what freedom is all about.
Some have some disconnect in their brain that enables them to believe that if they wanna go somewhere, but they feel that place is dangerous to their health, we should all get together and make it safer for them....because, dam-gummit, I WANNA GO THERE! Childish, IMO.
