How true snidely. I feel the same way. How sad that some people just don't appreciate freedom anymore.

I doubt that many people have stopped going to Vegas or visiting casinos because they fear the Street Performers like you and DR milled. You have stopped going to Vegas because of them, right?
Maybe for every Boilerman who has been driven away from Vegas Casinos because he fears the harmless street performer there is an AlanLeroyII who enjoys their performances and tips them for it and is more likely to visit the Casinos near where they work.
But even if your silly straw man exaggeration was true, these people have the same right to dress up in costume or make music or dance or sing or paint in public as you do to talk to yourself and hop on one foot.
And if you want to talk about 'unbridled license to cause financial damage', Americans also have a right to picket a business or boycott a business. I'm sure Boiler and DR think their Big Nanny State Government should take that away from the people too.
We have these rights and freedoms because brave men and women have defended them for over 2 centuries. I cherish them. You want to toss them into the trash can of prudish personal sanitation. Goody two-shoes
