business owner = public, ie regulated by government...licensing, taxes, Commerce Clause, etc.

I disagree that a buisness owner is public, unless that buisness is an arm of government.

You do understand, I assume, that the idea that buisness as "public", is a hallmark plank of socialism and fascism, right? If we take away the right of individuals to be buisness owners, and force them under the auspices of government, or make them "public", we have abandoned capitolism and started down the road to fascism.

BTW, I feel that if our current course is maintained, America WILL be the next great fascist power in history, and those like you, who refuse to recognize the Bill of Rights as absolute, facilitate that change.

So be it...

You are free to disagree, it doesn't mean you are right. As a business owner, I deal with the "public" every day and I abide by the laws.
That does not make me the government.

those like you, who refuse to recognize the Bill of Rights as absolute, facilitate that change.

and I have noticed when people run out of arguments, or cannot defend their positions, they resort to name calling...
