21 MAR. 2018 · Thousands of charities, from international organizations to local churches, raise
money through silent-auctions, often featuring gift baskets donated by supporters.
Those gift baskets frequently include bottles of wine, beer, or other spirited prizes.
But it turns out that in many States the liquor laws prohibit such gift baskets,
especially in places like churches or community centers that have no liquor license
– even if the bottles remain unopened. The legislature in one state, Colorado, is
about to repeal that old law, and leave charitable fund-raisers free to do their best
for their good causes. Many of these legislators have looked through the lens of
liberty, and realized that fund-raising strategies of non-profit organizations are not
the government’s business. But many states still require permits and fees for such
events. If your State is one of them, it’s time for you to act.

21 MAR. 2018 · A couple I know was sitting in their hot tub, in the privacy of their secluded back
yard, when suddenly a man with a clipboard came wandering onto their patio,
looking around and taking notes. They asked what he was doing, and he identified
himself as an inspector from the Homeowner’s Association. He claimed the right
to go anywhere on any property, with or without the owner’s permission, anytime
he wants. But these homeowners look through the lens of liberty, and they
understand their right to privacy, enshrined in the Bill of Rights. They know that in
America, all governments – including local homeowners associations – only get
power from the consent of the governed. If your right to privacy doesn’t matter to
you, it certainly doesn’t matter to anyone else – what have you allowed in your
neighborhood?

21 MAR. 2018 · A friend, struggling to make ends meet, found that he could rent his spare room by
the night, and earn a nice supplemental income. But he also found out there are
rules about competing with hotels. Cities from New York to Denver have started
adopting rules to stop such practices – not because there is any danger to public
safety, but because Air B-n- B has become serious competition for hotels, just as
Uber competes with taxis. Many tourists enjoy staying at bed-and- breakfasts, and
traveling is a different experience when you get to know your hosts, in their
homes. We understand why hotel chains may be threatened by such competition,
but a look through the lens of liberty tell us this is not the government’s business.
Such favoritism limits your choices, but if you don’t defend your right to stay
wherever you want, who will?

21 MAR. 2018 · Many of us share great memories of eating ice cream in the park, one of the great
pleasures of summer. But we’ll have no more of that in Boulder, Colorado. The
city has now banned ice cream as an option for vendors in all the local parks.
That’s because the ice cream bars that were being sold come in larger sizes, and
have higher sugar and fat content, than is allowed under the City’s latest nutrition
guidelines. Those rules apply to all ice cream, but also to nuts, chips, packaged
fruits, cereal, cookies, pudding, and all other snacks. Should city governments even
have rules for such things, or should we all look through the lens of liberty, and
insist that such regulations be withdrawn? We can decide for ourselves when and
where we want to enjoy ice cream.

21 MAR. 2018 · New York is famous as the “city that never sleeps,” but be careful what you do after
hours. There are 26,000 bars and restaurants in New York City, but if you enjoy
live music, singing, or dancing, you could be breaking the law. That’s because a
Prohibition-era law still forbids three or more people from dancing, anyplace
where there is “musical entertainment.” Any exceptions require an expensive city-
issued license that very few businesses actually have. Instead of looking through
the lens of liberty, city officials still go to court to defend that old “cabaret law.”
In one recent case, they argued that “there is no protected First Amendment right
of expression to engage in recreational dancing.” We should tell our officials they
have no right to regulate us, if we want to dance the night away.

21 MAR. 2018 · I see protests on TV and sometimes wonder if the demonstrators even understand
what they’re protesting. Now, a report by the National Association of Scholars,
says many university courses aimed at understanding the American system, have
been replaced by vocational classes on how to undermine it. Instead of teaching the
foundations of constitutional law, individual freedom, and self-government, these
new courses now teach how to organize protests, occupy buildings, and stage
demonstrations. Americans citizens have always enjoyed the right to protest
policies with which they disagree. But looking through the lens of liberty is a
vital first step, in understanding the very system that guarantees the right to protest.
Without that basic understanding of our founding principles, students are actually
being cheated of the opportunity to be full participants in our republic. They
should protest that!

21 MAR. 2018 · On Halloween, thousands of college students attend costume parties, the bizarre
attire being part of the fun. But this year they found the “PC police” in charge on
campuses across America. One university said it didn’t matter if students admired
Pocahontas, or if Prince was their favorite singer – minority students were allowed
to wear such costumes, but white students could not. Desperate to avoid offending
anyone, dozens of colleges posted such rules. One advises against “traditional head
wear from other cultures,” while many others simply tell students not to wear
costumes representing a culture that is not their own. Well, that certainly
eliminates devils, witches, ghosts, and superheroes. Maybe we should look
through the lens of liberty, and realize that making everyone dress up as
themselves would be a mean trick, not a treat.

21 MAR. 2018 · A woman in Philadelphia, having an argument with her boyfriend in a restaurant,
got so angry she threw a soft drink at him. Then, as she was storming away, she
slipped on the wet floor and broke her tailbone. Never mind that the floor was wet
because of the drink she herself had thrown, she was still so angry she decided to
sue. She did not sue the boyfriend, because he didn’t have any money. She sued
the restaurant for having a wet floor. A jury ordered the restaurant to pay her
$113,000. Her medical bills were real, of course, but does that make the business
owner responsible? Looking through the lens of liberty, if we see any law-
abiding citizen being held liable for the bad behavior of another, it ought to make
us all angry enough to do something about it.

21 MAR. 2018 · Our Constitution does not guarantee the right to break into someone’s house. Yet a
burglar in Bristol, Pennsylvania thought he had that right, and a jury agreed! He
broke into a home, but got locked in the garage trying to escape. With no way out
and the homeowners away, he spent 8 days in that garage, surviving on a case of
Pepsi and a large bag of dog food, until the homeowners returned, and called
police. He claimed because the garage door opener didn’t work, he had suffered
undue mental anguish, and sued the homeowners’ insurance company. Shockingly,
the jury sided with him, and made the insurance company pay him $500,000 for his
ordeal. We should all look through the lens of liberty and remember the
importance of personal responsibility, especially before we serve on juries.
