Social is irrelevant to private.

Only in your binary view... <g>

Equal treatment under the law is equal treatment by the law, and by what the law controls.

And the law controls a lot of what goes on in business. That's where the equal treatment comes in. There's no need for equal treatment by business where there is no controlling law.

I think the political culture in our country has made entirely too much of it.

I get that you don't like it. But what should be, and particularly what you think should be, is not necessarily what is. We have to play the cards we're dealt.

This conversation reminds me of the Big Gulp controversy. You have people trying to legislate the size of soda cups all the while the government is supporting sugar and corn syrup. It's fussing about one symptom of a rampant problem that is not being resolved.
