Hi photog,<\/p>\n

I basically agree with your analysis (I haven\u2019t listened to the Zman\u2019s podcast though). Freedom of association is critically important and it\u2019s childish for people to demand to be included in clubs where they aren\u2019t welcome. For example all the current hubbub about Taylor Swift is, in my opinion, because football was one of the last few bastions of testosterone heavy entertainment remaining and now even it is being eroded.<\/p>\n

I completely agree that all levels of government must be color blind in their enforcement of the law. Separate but equal was always nonsense.<\/p>\n

I will say I have some reservations about \u201cpublic accommodations\u201d being excluded from freedom of association. I can see forcing grocery stores to allow all law abiding members of a community (that would exclude shop lifters) to purchase food. On the other hand I don\u2019t see why we need to force coffee shops to serve their over priced drinks to everyone. When I was younger the general attitude was that if we force people who don\u2019t like each other to associate then we\u2019ll all discover we aren\u2019t so different after all. The ink is black, the page is white, together we learn to read and write\u2026 That just doesn\u2019t seem to be true.<\/p>\n

Feel free to call me an idiot (well, within reason :-)).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
