Our rights are do anything we please on our property or the property of those who allows us to do that. The government does not create or grant rights, otherwise, every action would require express written consent of a bureaucrat. The rule is simple: if you and the people who own the location you are at agree that it is OK to do something, and it poses no threat to those who chose not to visit that location, then it should be OK.
The Private Club Angle was The New Speakeasy 102Danger, you've exceeded your daily red herring limit!! What percentage of the available jobs do you seriously think that "smoking establishment employees" would represent? Somehow I imagine the ratio of those jobs to the number...
This notion that the gov't "creates" rights is insane, and frankly, frightening.
The smoke Nazis would not settle for this. You would not settle for this. If a law were pbutted for all of Minnesota that said what you said above, any bar could say: "Access to this bar is limited to members only. Membership is 1 cent. Benefits of membership include 10 cents off your first drink purchase. By being a member, you agree to abide by club rules, which include not being a privates about smoking."
It's written, there are fees, there are rules. Would you support that law? I doubt it.
Apparently so is emininent domain, the notion that the gov't owns your body and all sort of other offensive laws. It doesn't make it sensible or moral or ethical.
