No. Businesses are open to the public; they are regulated by government - at the mandate of the community, us the citizens. Restaruants have to meet health codes. Businesses have to meet non-discrimination codes. Work places cannot contain toxic chemicals or dangerous equipment. Etc. It is NOT up to the owner to do any damn thing he wants! but you keep saying it and saying it because it seems that's how you'd LIKE it to be - no enforcement of any codes at all. But it isn't that way now and if the rest of us have anything to say about it, it's never going to get that way. What you call fascism is what the rest of us call public health. --David Shove Roseville REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
