You sound like Paul Rand wanting to parse the freedom of a restaruant owner to descriminate with descrimination itself. <<Your phrasing is clumsy but the two are very different things. Freedom is good, even if it enables us to do negative things. Those negative things are not so good.>> <<Your phrasing is clumsy but the two are very different things. Freedom is good, even if it enables us to do negative things. Those negative things are not so good.>> Whne we live in a society we have to give up some freedom to the tribe. Rand Paul tries to disguise his lack of human decency with libertarian gobbledegook about freedom. Descrimination is descrimination is descrimination and is fundamental to human decency. A civilized society tells the individual you may not engage in acts which cross the boundaries of human decency. Society says: "you maay not murder or rob people and you may not descriminate. Get it Rand?
