IMO, the owner takes precedence. It's a private business with the right to refuse service. I don't believe the customer has the right to demand service.

Why don't we just do away with the FAA? All the airlines no what to do. And as a matter of point, why is smoking no longer allowed on airline flights? Pesky government!

Maybe we should get rid of the FCC as well. That way, ONE or TWO corporations would be able to control the news, information and entertainment broadcast. Who the hell needs the FCC, anyway?

But why stop there? Let's get rid of local programs like the Better Business Bureau. I mean, businesses are all good and NO ONE EVER treats people with disrepect or could POSSIBLY be dishonest.

I finally get it now: Don't trust the Government. Don't trust ANYONE.

ANARCHY RULES!!!!
