And we especially need a referendum on the health inspection of restaurants and taverns.

They're infringing on a business's personal property rights, too. Aren't they? To quote one of the many bar-orchestrated letters to the editor, "Are business owners not allowed to make decisions for themselves? Can they not choose .... Must government dictate every aspect of our lives? ... Soon Russia will have more freedoms than we do."

Imagine! The affrontery! Coming in and telling ME what to do with MY business! Well I never! There's Communists everywhere! (Probably even in the State Department. Whoops, wrong war...)

There are laws and there are campaigns.

It's all public health. Go wash your hands and put out that cigarette in public.

And get over it.

And so it goes.
