All this gibberish ignores a elementary part of morality, property rights.

The only Public property would be that owned by “the public”, ha, meaning government.

Private property, subjected to the intrusions of laws “for the public good” or any other such nonsense, is eradicated by such laws. People have the right to patronize, or not, regardless of what goes on upon private property. If they don’t like smoke they merely stay out and by that have cast their vote. If too many stay out, the proprietor may choose to change his MO to accomodate the desires of his customers.

It’s not at all complicated, but it would be a shame to see so many lawyers and politicians in the unemployment lines.

Dear Aditya,

Do you have a link to the full judgment in this case? Also, did this matter not go before the SC? I remember vaguely that the SC upheld this order. Is that correct?
