I think they should be able to put up a sign that says "this is a
smoking establishment, if you don't like it, get even with me and
spend your money somewhere else."

Smokers shouldn't go where people are unless they refrain from
exhaling.

If a privately owned place is clearly marked "smoking allowed",
don't
go there. It is called freedom of choice.

You do not have the right not to be offended, particularly on
someone
elses property.

A privately owned place that is open to the public, is quite
different
than a privately owned place like your home.

That is simply a perversion of the law.

It is not. It's been pretty well upheld by the courts.

I bet you would support the right of a restaurant owner to refuse
admittance of a person wearing a T shirt that said "Kill all the
fags" or something else offensive.

Don't have to, since most restaurants can refuse service to people who
are disruptive.

So public accommodation is not an absolute.

"Disruptive" is certainly an abstract assumption.

Have I ever said that is was? No shirt, no shoes, and now (in San
Francisco) no pants, no service.

That is discriminatory too.

I saw a sign yesterday that said

MEN, No shirt no service.

WOMEN No shirt, Free Beer.

I remember when the "leather jacket" fight went down here in CT. The law
supported leather jackets in all establishments, but they could make you
take off your jacket if it had rockers (above and below club colors on a
leather, usually depicts the club name and territory). When I first met
my wife we went out a lot in leather but I would usually grab a manager
to the side before we went into a restaurant with my leather on
anyway... Never had one say no, but they usually liked the idea that we
asked.

Get ready for a rude comment from Krause. He thinks leathers should only
be worn in the bedroom, and only by whoever is playing the female part.
