		<description><![CDATA[To answer your questions:
1. A private business should be free to serve or not serve at their own discretion, for any, or no reason, whatsoever..
2. If blacks want to self segregate then let them. Of course whites only clubs and societies should also exist!
3. All male or all female schools, or other institutions, should be tolerated.
The kicker in all this is that discrimination should not be tolerated where the institution receives funding from general taxation. It is clearly unjust that any person should be forced to pay (however small an amount) for an institution and then be prevented from using that institution. This, of course brings up the fundamentally tyrannical nature of our taxation system. All Govt. functions should be financed through consumption taxes and all grants, allowances, depreciations, etc. should be scrapped.
Not a legal view of course, just my opinion.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The ancient legal common-law principle of freedom of contract extended at one time to the signs you used to see in restaurant foyers or above the cash registers that said &quot;We reserve the right to refuse to serve anyone.&quot;  Not anymore.  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Now, instead, we see classes in Black Studies being expressly -in the catalog- restricted to non-whites, cafeteria sections or tables dedicated to self-segregated blacks, and societies for blacks and Latinos barring whites because they&#039;re white.  OK or not OK?

Then there is the feminist attack on all-male schools, while advocating that it&#039;s better for women to attend all-female schools.  Verdict on that?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anti discrimination, &quot;hate speech&quot; and &quot;hate crime&quot; laws are tyrannous. They attack freedoms of speech, association and property rights. They are collectivist  pandering to feelings of envy and victimhood. It is the function of such laws to persuade some members of our community that they are blameless for their misfortunes and that there is some conspiracy occurring that needs to be redressed by Govt. These laws relieve people of their obligations to &quot;fit in&quot; and do the right things and further they excuse the most appallingly self destructive behavior. Unfortunately &quot;white guilt&quot; has been harnessed to support the awful laws and until whites reject that guilt and declare &quot;no more&quot;, these laws will be with us.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Williams, thank you for a very thought-provoking article!


I find it repugnant that a state such as Oregon would believe they are entitled to &quot;rehabilitate&quot; those who would express a belief in something or some being greater than government. The case of the state action against the Christian couple who owned a bakery in Oregon, and the state determination to rehabilitate this couple, is such an egregious violation of freedom of association it borders more on fascism rather than the ideals of our Constitutional Republic. 



The true irony of this concept of freedom of association is the illiberal regressive left in America telling us we must fall in line, we must accept their every dictate, or be excommunicated from society while at the same time they know they really want nothing to do with us as in a day-to-day friendly relationship. The left is always telling us &quot;don&#039;t force your beliefs down my throat&quot; yet do not hesitate to force their beliefs down the throats of those who choose to be left alone and practice their own beliefs the way they see fit. Freedom of association is dead in America as long we have politicians in charge the likes of the occupier in the White House and his many evil minions throughout all levels of government.]]></description>
