That is so sad. Listening to right wing radio can be bad for one's health.
Bars and Restaurant or license public accommodations. They MUST conform to
many health standards from the temperature of the water to the volume of the
music. In most cities and towns they are limited as to the numbers that
exist...the government determines if you can even sell liquor at all inside the
city
limits. That makes it about as far as possible from someone's private right as
possible. So, you may like or dislike a candidate for office, but there is
nothing in the constitution that gives rude behavior any particular rights and
your right to smoke may be regulated or denied. Just like your right to drink
or sell alcohol at all.
