Archive for the ‘Smoking Bans’ tag
This is mine, and I will decide how to run it!
Not all is lost, and if things like this still happen the core of this country is still healthy:
Nobody’s going to tell Kerry “Paco” Ellison’s customers they can’t smoke at his bar.
The Black Hawk Saloon is Ellison’s bar, and he’ll run it as he sees fit.
“If I don’t want to pray, I don’t go to church,” Ellison said. “If you don’t want to smoke, don’t come in here.”
Today, Ellison and at least a dozen other bar owners across the county defiantly encouraged their patrons to smoke in violation of the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department’s six-week-old smoking ban.
It is actually extremely simple concept - the bar owner, the bar employees and the customers all engaged in voluntary transactions. None of those who enveloped in these transactions should be forced to buy or sell involuntarily; and yes, if the bar owner is racist and don’t want to serve a group of people he/she shouldn’t be coerced to act differently.
