Completely different, I am surprised that you see any commonality. The bakery is about trying to engage a service that the vendor does not want to offer you. No contract was entered into, because the vendor turned refused the work.
The storefront is about a contract that is already in place. Unless the rental agreement stipulates that the renter can’t post political statements, or can’t criticize the president, or can’t make known views that disagree with the landlord, the renter can do whatever he wants.
We'll never know how the lease is written, but I've never in my long life seen a store lease where the renter can willy-nilly and at his own whim alter the appearance of the store front with cosmetic changes such as re-painting a facade without the permission of the owner....never. Makes no difference if he painted a political slogan or the Mona Lisa, he apparently did this alteration on his own and the owner swiftly put the kabosh on his artwork.
Would you like it if you owned a store on Main Street and your tenant painted a political mural or message right on the front without your permission....and all of a sudden rocks and tires are breaking your store windows and the life and the safety of the folks inside is being threatened by the minute...and you're getting the threatening phone calls by the scores from the Obama cultist crazies?
Never mind your sermons, just answer that one question. I live in Realville along with Rush. From the safety of your easy chair it's easy to run someone else's rental propery which was put in frightening peril by an eager-beaver, dumbo tenant....no matter how much you appreciate his graffitti as do I.
