I asked, “Do you have the ability to stay off privately owned property where the owner allows smoking?” Chinstrap answered “Yes”
I also asked, “Do you also support the Kelo decision?” Chinstrap answered “No”
So, what is your issue on these threads? Since you agree that you have the ability to stay off property when the owner allows smoking and you also agree that the government should not claim rights to property in the name of the “common good,” what is your actual issue?
My actual issue is that smokers used to abuse the rights of nonsmokers and all other bystanders in recent history. They would not be considerate, they would not be responsible so laws had to be enacted representing the majority.
Just as stop signs are built to keep all people safe, so were smoking restrictions were put in place. Would've been nice if people would take turns at intersections - or not light up in public areas...but people don't.
