[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1084127, member: 4235"] Businesses don't have rights, but their owners do. Business owners have the same rights to control their property (including the business, whatever form it is) as anybody else does. I don't care what the courts say either -- I'm talking about basic issues of liberty. I don't believe in corporate personhood, but I do believe in the property rights of individuals. I don't believe anybody has the right to tell other people what rules they can or can't make about their own property, or by what terms they can voluntarily associate with other people. Just because a person is engaging in commercial transactions with other people (or is using his property to conduct business) doesn't mean he gives up his liberty and can be legitimately regulated more than other people. To allow the rights of one person to be violated puts at risk the rights and liberties of all. [/QUOTE]
