After all the hypocrital posturing about changing the subject, you try to change the subject.
Sorry, no go.
California law says you can't smoke in a restaurant open to the public. The sky hasn't fallen in, your hyperventilating notwithstanding.
No one disputes that laws have been passed to suspend certain property rights. The thread is about property rights. Your attempts to change it notwithstanding.
Now why not change the thread into what you really have in mind?
Well now I've seen it all. A "conservative", on FR of all places, defending Davis and the People's Republik of Kalifornia's liberal laws.
Surreal.
