Jon Hemminghaus, from Williamson County in southern Illinois, posted an anti-smoking ban sign in front of his business, Wounded Rig Inc., about a month ago. It reads:
Wham. Bam. Boom. A cogent 6-word argument for property rights and self-ownership. Bad ass.
It is Jon’s property and therefore John’s right to determine what activities are performed on his property and in his business, so long as these activities are adequately advertised; that way, anyone potentially entering or working at the business can make an full, informed decision — a choice — of whether or not to patronize the establishment based on these facts.
Consensualism.
Last Saturday he stepped it up and organized a “smoke-in”, in which hundreds of smokers and non-smokers alike came from several states to protest the Smoke-Free Illinois Act. Check it out at the above link (video included).
