Quote:
We, as a society, recognize that

What's this "we" shit? I didn't agree to recognise any such thing. Besides which, groups (like "society") cannot recognise things any more than they can give birth. Individuals recognise things and act accordingly, individuals have rights and the obligation to safeguard them. The notion that a group has rights exists only so that those who are members of the majority may impose their will by force upon those who are in the minority: back in the day, people were honest about this and just made like Mongols. Nowadays people want to feel like they're being -nice- to the people they're oppressing and ordering around and killing if they rebel, so it's "for your own good." Meanwhile, the people being oppressed and ordered around resent the fact that they're being treated like oversized children or inmates at a Bureau Of Indian Affairs school.

it's one thing to stretch a hole in a consenting client's ear, and it's another to run a business establishment that charges fingers for its goods.

How? In both cases, the body of a consenting party is traumatised
with that person's consent.

The concept of regulations for public health is nothing new

Neither is the concept of executing homosexuals. Simply because something is old does not mean that it is correct.

Smoking bans are not all about the patrons either. They are also about workplace safety.

Duh: if you don't want to work in a smoky bar, don't. Make like an adult and work someplace else, instead of crying for Mommy to -make- Timmy play the way you want.
