re: NYTimes with a great op-ed on the First Amendment

Neither do I. Like I said, I believe Colorado is in the wrong here. But I was responding to Martini’s further position that a private business should be allowed to do *anything* they want, and I just don’t agree.

There is a clear difference between catering to a certain demographic and banning anyone from buying there. For example, there’s nothing wrong with having an Afro-centric hair products store. But there is something wrong with them saying “no whites allowed.” I might never have a reason to shop there but I can’t be barred from doing so if I so please. Nor can I compel them to start selling Tea Tree Eucalyptus Shampoo by Paul Mitchell.
