The question is though, who are you to push your values onto the rest of the populace? Is there a problem with letting the free market sort it out or are you just bound and determined to push your beliefs on me?
Actually, that isn't the question at all. If I brought a skunk into a restaurant everyone there would have a hissy fit and I'd be thrown out. If you bring your equally stinky tobacco into a restaurant, you should expect the same.
Ah, but your argument don't hold water and still hold up to our Constitution either.
IF the Business owners, you know, the ones who PAY for their businesses, their licenses, their taxes, decides that in THEIR BUSINESS on THEIR PROPERTY they WANT SKUNKS to be patrons, then so be it, those who don't LIKE skunks can find another establishment to go to.
On the other hand, Another business Owner who don't like Skunks, don't want skunks and they too pay their taxes and own the Business, then they can put a sign on the door NO SKUNKS. That way no one would "accidently" walk in with one.
The other owner who does allow Skunks can put SKUNKS ALLOWED on the door, and then the anti-skunk folks can move on to a different location.
I don't think it is anything more than a POWER STRUGGLE, and people taste the power to MAKE folks do what THEY want them to do, without thinking of all the repurcussions of it.
I do not think anyone on this forum, any other forum, this town, any State has the RIGHT to sit there and take OWNER'S RIGHTS AWAY from them. Otherwise, while you are doing that, burn our Constitution and we will be like Russia before too long.
P.S., I am a NON SKUNK person!!!
