What is your problem? LOL!!

It may be much deeper than the subject at hand, oftentimes the issue isn’t really the issue. Let’s try to see where you’re running into confusion.

I agree with you - the notion that state legislatures or local jurisdictions, or anybody else has the power to unilaterally force businesses to become “smoke free” is completely wrong and misguided. I get that. Any freedom loving minded person understands this implicitly. And the way they couched this, part of the terminology or verbiage they used for their rationale or justification as you put it - was that a restaurant or business is not “private property”; it is open to the public. Therefore, it is a place of “public accomodation.”

You don’t have to agree with this. You don’t have to like it. But that’s what they did, that’s what they say they believe, that is their logic.

Consequently, I am in favor of using their very own logic, reasoning, and justification and shoving it right back at them with respect to this issue. Hit back twice as hard. Why is this controversial for you? Why do you see this a problem?

You seem to have your parties confused, Freedumb.

The property owner has done nothing to you and had no say in the smoking-vs-no-smoking matter. They have simply followed the law and in no way have any of their actions justified your violation of their rights.

The asinine "logic, reasoning and justification" is wholly on the part of the state - and yet for some reason you want to use the state's actions as a reason to deny the property owners their God given right to control their property as they see fit.

You don't even have the weak argument of "but I'm following the law," as even the law says that you are in the wrong here.

You are one strange fellow, Freedumb. Morally wrong in violating the owner's rights. Legally wrong in violating the law. But it's all good as long as you get to shove it right back at  them  somebody, right?

Maybe it's time to put down the pipe, Dude. You'll think better in the morning.
