Yes I'm OK with private business discriminating, I wouldn't support them, heck I'd even protest them and I believe they'd go out of business in the long run. But if a business owner with his own money wants to open a store for only white people or black people or whatever that's HIS business not mine, not yours, not the governments.

 

Liberty and Freedom of choice isn't something you can apply here and not there, either we are free to let people make bad decisions, make mistakes, fail and be their own masters or we are not. 

 

It's the giving up freedoms I oppose, Liberty even when I disagree with what people do with it. 

 

There ya go.  Simple question and finally an answer.

 

We aren't free.  There is also a price to be paid for having complete freedom.  Freedom to drink and drive?  Freedom to kill someone if you want?  Where does your freedom end?

 

BTW, they seem to have authority.  Not sure where you are getting that.  Is this like paying taxes thing?  They don't have the authority to tax me!  Except they do.
