Good article. It is not appropriate for the gubmint to tell anyone what they can do with their private property.

You’ll be able to live to 130.....you won’t have any freedoms mind you. But you will live to 130.

And that’s all that is important, isn’t it? /sarc

Of course, banning certain foods is just around the corner.

An obvious reference to the ROP.

One of these days, these idiots will figure out that “living” is dangerous to your health and they’ll outlaw it.

No Smoking laws are applauded by a huge majority of people. Some are conservatives that have little common sense or regard for the Constitution. Most people believe that “majority rules” is the way our guvmit was formed. A sad testiment to our guvmit schools.

The hypocrisy of the anti smoking movement is that if a legislator were to believe all the health hype they would be shirking their duty not to ban cigarettes altogether. However, that won’t happen because smokers are a major revenue source that is easy to tax...it’s for your health you know. Consider cigarette taxes the ultimate death tax...we don’t want you to smoke but are glad to take your money if you choose to use this LEGAL product.

Private property is a natural right that all humans have.
Communism does away with private property as soon as it comes into power.
In the USA, both parties subscribe to the tenets of communism, although in different degrees.
The American public would never allow the government to take away private property. The politicians know this, so they gradually render the concept of private property meaningless. They invented the property tax, which confiscates a percentage of your house and land each year. They invented the laws which severely restrict what we can do on our property. Given enough time, the politicians will have accomplished what they set out to: they will have taken control of all private property but they will have left us with the taxes!

Some folks still don't get that the property that one has put their life's blood into should not be controlled by other people that may (and I emphasize MAY), or may not, frequent that property.

Since liberals are offensive to most of us, owners must be able to ban them from restaurants as well. They are worse for your health than any tobacco product.
