And it has to be stressed as such. It isn't just the money, it's the right of opening a business and doing what you want with it. Why can't people vote with their feet? That's all anyone is asking. Let me run my business my way, if no one likes it, I'll be forced to close. But, results-orientation is not a concept embraced by the socialist control-freak left. The left is much more inclined to enact laws to force society to their will, rather than letting society find the right answer for itself. I have a friend who is a control-freak about public-smoking, I've banned him from my house. Who needs friends like that?

I agree, And that also goes for discriminating against whatever race,creed, gender, height or whatever offends my fancy. My property, my rules.

Exactly. You DON'T need friends like that. And neither do I. Segregation at it's finest. I thought we were done with segregation, but the nico-nazi's brought it back with the smoking issue.

We have very few friends who do not smoke. The ones who do not smoke and hang out with us could care less about second hand smoke. They, too, see through the lies.
