"I would suggest that any business owner should be able to decide if they have smoking zones at all, both indoors and out, and can limit or allow tobacco, cannabis, cigars, coltsfoot, etc, as they wish..."
If business owners can't tell a nursing mom to put her tit back in her shirt, what makes you think he or she can tell a med-necessity pot user to walk thirty meters away?
Business owners are not ALL-POWERFUL. Their power has LIMITS.
Women have the right to walk down the street showing their tits all the time if they like. They won that right too.
But just because they have the right does not mean that it is the right thing to do.
Forcing someone to look at your tits because you choose to feed your baby in public is an ugly thing to do too. That doesn't stop some women from having to flash their tits every time they get a chance just to satisfy the exibitionist in them.
Most women do not bare their tits in public no matter how hungry the kid is. The kid will not starve in whatever time it takes to find somewhere private.
Women should not have the right to show their tits on someone else's private property and you are making the case that Human Rights Commission do nothing except destroy private property rights as well as freedom of association.
Business owners are not ALL-POWERFUL. Their power has LIMITS.
That is absolutly true. Their "power" extends only on the property they own. Gator Ted could care less what Steve Gibson does on public property or on his own property.
The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the force of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storms may enter, the rain may enter,—but the King of England cannot enter; all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!
Well, throught the magic of the Commercial Properties Act, the King of England can blow through that tenement any old time he pleases with an army of bureaucrats that can dictate pretty well every aspect of what behaviors are and are not permitted.
The power of the property owner has always been limited.
It is the power of the state that has no limits and some people called libertarian socialists like it that way.
Too bad so sad, said persons don't seem to like it when these same government bureacrats come down to his property and dicate what he can and cannot do on that property because he does not believe others should be able to inflict their morals on him.
But the hypocrisy of supporting those very same government officials dictating what goes on on someone else's property is just fine.
You are getting a taste of your own medicine.
It is either going to be you who is master over your own property or it will be the state.
When the state can tell you what you can and cannot do on your own property then you are a serf.
The Commercial Properties Act is the Orwellian legislation that creates a third class of property.
The Incorporations Act is the Orwellian legislation that creates a person out of companies.
If you support the commerical properties act then you should keep your mouth shut when other support incorporation act.
The state either has the right to dictate what you do with your property or they do not.
I support the state not having the power to legislate lies into truth.
You support the state legislating lies into truth when it sqaures with your morals.
Your no better than the other statists who worship at the altar of the state.
I would urge anybody reading along to be very suspicious of people who strongly support having no freedom of association.
I already know what kind of a world with no liberty that you support.
It is good that you show your true colors as a total statist with no respect for liberty or a single one of it's tenets.
Is it worth destroying the freedom of association so women can show their tits in Gator Teds? (they already have the right to walk around bare breasted in public so that is not a concern)
Is it worth destroying the freedom of association so that Steve Gibson can force himself on Gator Ted?
We can separate the wheat from the chaff by having you answer this one question,
1) is the state your master or your servant?
Everything you write would indicate you want the state to be your master. Well the state is your master and is criminalizing you for things that are not crimes.
The state would make a criminal out of Gator Ted too.
What can I say? If you support the state making a criminal out of Gator Ted, then you are also supporting the state making a criminal out of you.
What can I say? The state passed a law and made a crime out of things that are not crimes in both cases in my opinion.
That you can support the criminalization of Gator Ted is beyond hypocrisy.
Do you think Gator Ted ought to be criminalized for refusing Steve Gibson?
I don't think Steve Gibson has a case at all. Steve Gibson is a medical serf and he likes being a serf and wants to see everybody else be a serf too.
What I don't understand is why you are fighting for serfdom for Gator Ted while fighting for liberty for yourself?
Question 2.
2) Those drugs the police took away from the Herb school David, who's property were they? The governments? Yours? The owners of the herb school?
The courts most certainly will be interested in who's property that cannabis was.
Whoever claims that property will be criminalized.
So like it or don't like it what you are fighting for is your right to own those drugs as the valuable property that they are.
Property rights must be absolute for liberty and justice to rule.
The owners of the Herb school ought to be the masters of what goes on on that property just as Gator Ted ought to be master of what goes on on his property.
You have no problem seeing that everything the Incorporation Act supports is a lie.
How can you be so blind as to believe that the Commerical Properties Act is somehow truth?
