Quote:There's a huge spectrum between anarchy and absolute tyranny. The goal is to find and maintain the best point on the line, and the laws we discuss are too far to the tyranny side. Im no anarchist and dont believe in "absolute freedom", but I believe, in this arena, we are too far towards consumer rights and too far from ownership rights. Government can be limited, but we have to work against people like Oklahomie to keep it that way.

Gotcha.


In regards to the smoking ban in restaurants, I personally was thrilled and voted for it. It is as much a health issue as it is pretty gross to smoke indoors with food around. Some will agree and disagree, but whether you are voting with your wallets or with an actual voting, you are still voting one way or another. I think it is a little silly to say customers shouldn't control what I do because if they weren't showing up then you as an owner would make a change based on that. Of course customers have some sort of control over your restaurant.
