It is discomforting that people's rights and freedoms are under attack by state and local regulations and restrictions on small, private businesses and private clubs.
The out-of-control state and local governments passed a law banning smoking in bars and private businesses. When the government tells a person how to run his or her life, that is a violation of human rights. America is looking more like Russia by the minute.
Americans need to wake up or freedom and human rights will be lost.
Enough is enough. People need to take their rights and freedom back. In a nation that calls itself the land of the free, how much freedom do people have?
There must be a way to protect society without destroying the rights that Americans hold so dear.
