So because of small wrongs in the past, these larger more incremental wrongs are OK? Are you on the right DiscUssion board?

I didn't say that it was right that government controls things this way. I think property taxes are awful, although not as bad as income taxes, which we thankfully don't have here in Florida. However, the fact is, government does have a place in the regulation of business for safety and health reasons. In the case of this amendment, the government didn't make some demand up out of thin air - we the people demanded that this regulation be put in place by an overwhelming margin. Smokers are understandably pissed off that they can't smoke anywhere they want to anymore, but that's just too bad. I couldn't care less.

Yep. The tyranny of the majority. What a wonderful thing. How about if they ban cooking at restaurants? Wouldn't want the toxins in the air to damage the lungs of an anti cooker.

The reality is that the majority vote decided that it was reasonable to decide the activities in a private establishment. Didn't SCOTUS rule on this regarding sexual acts in the home? How can the Florida law be constitutional?

Whenever the tyranny of the majority is acceptable, be afraid, be very afraid. That would eliminate hunting!

Ofcourse not. Your annoyance is far more constitutionally important than private property!

I do hope you the rest of you "regulators" continue to go with this, soon it will be illegal to smell, or dress oddly, or speak freely.
