Answering the Controversy!

So in yesterday’s post I said I believe all private businesses should be able to discriminate for whoever they want to serve.  If they want, they should be able to put a sign in the window that says, “No Germans.”  Or, “We Don’t Serve Indians.”  Or “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Blue Eyes, No Service!”  This raised quite a spirited debate!  And I don’t say that just to shock you.  I am quite serious…
