I comply only enough to stay in business.

And thus you prove exactly why legal business frameworks exist in the first place. If everyone did the right thing all the time the threat of force would never be needed for anything. Reality is, all it takes is a few schysters and what was once the right thing to do, is now the required thing to do.

You think workplace safety regulation, or food quality regulations, grew out of some facist desire for power? No, it evolved over time as people got fed up with dad or mom or Jr. being killed or maimed at work... or watching mom or dad or junior die from eating some poisoned canned food product? Certainly there is no inate "RIGHT" to safe food or safe products... so any regulations mandating it is facism by your interpretation.

I don't agree with all business regulations, despite how you wish to characterize me. However its part of doing business... no one forces anyone to go into business, if you do, you have to play by the rules... its the way the world works.

More advocating OHSA. More pap.

And governments define the "right" thing? You mean people like Hillary and Bill? They have a great track record for forcing people to do the "right" thing.

You think that not allowing smoking on private property is the "right" thing. Many disagree.
