I’m confused! Emotionally and
Politically! Bet you never thought that you’d hear me say that! Confusion is
for the weak! Well not only – Could be that Thinkers get confused and hoist themselves up, on
their own petards – sometimes – maybe often to be honest! I’m usually for the ‘Little Guy” – the poor, the powerless,
los descamiseros but…On Monday, a judge in Lexington ruled in favor of a print shop
refusal to print Tee-shirts for a gay pride festival based on the shop owners’
religious views but which was NOT based on the sexual orientation of its requesting
clients but on the requested message: advocating “Free Sex/Love”! It was a “faith issue”! I get hot under
the collar when I hear about racial or economically abusive denials of services
to others but I’m less certain when it comes to differing “philosophical or political
points of view”! If I were a Rabbi, could I not have an anti-Semite removed
from the Temple – swastika, brown boot and all? Or if a Priest, reject a
contract to rent the parish hall to a Pro-abortion group, ETC. – Restaurateurs refuse service based
of the failure of some to meet a dress code. A bartender, stop serving a person they
think had more than their share. I know that these are decisions based on
“facts” but Blackness, Gayness, Pro-Abortions are facts! I’ve argues that if licensed
by a community to do business and/or provide services – You are to do business and/or to provide services to everyone in that community – Ultimately and
democratically, “everyone” gave you the right to do business there! - SO
EVERYONE CAN BE YOUR CUSTOMER! … But Conflicting Philosophical Questions-Searching for TRUTH! – That's a
different matter? Dam-it – They maybe the exception!
