If the libertarian purists had their way, there would be no regulation of cleanliness standards in restaurants and we would all be free to choose to patronize another restaurant if we became sick at a previous establishment, god willing, of course.<BR/><BR/>I don't care for that sort of "freedom", just as you probably wouldn't care for the mainstream positions of the British Conservative party.<BR/><BR/>Please consider visiting the following website:<BR/><BR/>http://www.backboris.com/<BR/><BR/>Respectfully, <BR/>Adam YoungAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
