Quote:Segregation was only possible because free people accepted government had the authority to dictate whom people will associate with. Government dictating association isn't progressing society it's shifting power of association from the individual to the collective, that's never ended well for anyone.

You lost me on this one. I get you current kick to back and never back off of is association but let's not for a second try to pretend the government was the only reason slavery existed. It mostly existed because of capitalism and the desire to make the most money possible at the expense who cares else. That's the definition of your unregulated free market at work.
