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!

There is a distinction between a private establishment and a private establishment that is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

That would eliminate hunting!

Are you saying that a majority of people would vote against hunting? I'm not sure I agree. I certainly wouldn't.
