Y'know, that's another thing I don't understand about so many of my fellow citizens whose political leanings are different from mine. I favor regulating business behavior, particularly the behaviors of businesses that exist separately from their owners in the liability sense. But I strongly oppose the restricting of personal behavior. Conversely, these people whose political leanings are different from my own (did I say that in a politically correct fashion?) seem to believe that regulating profit-making behavior is just wrong regardless of whether the behaver is a person or a thing, but seem fairly quick to approve limits in personal freedom. Here, I do not want to start any really nasty fights, but abortion is certainly a good example of this as is mandatory drug testing, along with many so-called victimless crimes. The conservatives think people should be regulated but not businesses. The liberals think businesses should be regulated but not people.

One of those groups seems to have cornered the market on use of the word "FREEDOM." I guess it means the same as "BUSINESS FREEDOM." which, in my view, is not actual freedom.

Some believe that business freedom is merely an extension of personal freedom. If a business only chooses to hire employees that are drug-free; why shouldn't they be able to?
