I think you can drive as fast as you'd like on a private track.

Walk 20 feet to the door and go smoke outside. They were nice enough to let yall do that

It's kind of like that argument you smokers pull on us non smokers. "Yall have the right to go somewhere else." Now I can say "You have the right to go smoke outside or not at all."

I agree, rlebl39; the government is just blowing smoke up our asses and telling us to choke on everything they want, while at the same time polluting our concept of freedom and forcing us to inhale any and every law they can think up just so they can cloud our minds with their socialist garbage and continue growing Big Government like a cancer!!

I think you are welcome to build a speedway and go as fast as you like.

Roads are public spaces, not private.

did the government not just tell a private business that they cannot allow a legal activity within their business?

What else would this law have been written for? Just for shits and giggles?

Second hand smoke kills 50,000 non smokers every year.

paranoia isn't a proper term

people are upset b/c lots of people are being selfish and believe their beliefs should prevail over the liberty of others
