You apparently misunderstand: the "flawed study" is the same one Milloy is writing about.
That'll teach me to read more carefully.
But to plow ahead, freedom is messy.
I read a remark years ago by I think, Fran Liebowitz, to the effect that being "out in public" means I put up with your bad habits and you put up with mine. Private property is the refuge.
The smoking Jihad has eliminated the refuge of private property, simple as that.
It really is the death of common sense, and the descent into crybabyism.
All risk removed, and the ascendancy of mediocrity.
But hey, who wouldn't want to die of boredom?
