The signs inside the bathrooms would be removed at the discretion of the restaurant since this is a personal freedom that the government has no right in which to interfere.

His interviewer declined (with a smile) to shake the Senator's hand.

Parents can make a choice to not get their children inoculated, but the public school systems can also deny these children admission to their schools to protect the public health. That's the way it works in most, if not all, states now.

Wait until the first child dies of measles and see how fast these anti-vaxers rush to the doctor to get their children immunized.

As to your second point, yuk.
