Lets say you're telling the truth and you have in fact personally witnessed 2 cases of discrimination. Considering there are approximately 14,000,000 businesses in the U.S., lets do some math. 2 divided by 14,000,000 equals 0.0000001. Multiple that by 100 and we get 0.00001%.

Hmm...This is interesting. You believe that a law should be created to protect against the occurrence of something that has a likelihood of only 0.00001 percent? I would say that is a bit irrational? Wouldn't you agree? I think the likelihood of a crash of a commercial airline is better. Should we also outlaw air travel too?

I find your defense of legalized discrimination shocking. I would not care if it occurred in only one case in a million. Its wrong. It violates both the letter and the spirit of the constitution. Given your recourse to mathematical formulas in defense of something that is MALO INSEA you seem to feel that my personal and anecdotal experiences constitute a justification for repealing laws which protect people from abuse. But I must conclude that whatever your skill level in mathematics might be your command of history is gravely deficient. I would suggest you take a serious look at the history of what has been done to minority groups in this country's history by the majority. Who of course claimed the right to serve whom they wish, house whom they wish, and employ whom they wish. And while we are at it let vote those whom they wish. And if you believe that this sort of thing does not go on today I can only express the hope that the weather on your planet is more congenial that that which I have been enduring lately.

It used to be before a change in the law, and a change in the attitude about the enforcement, that millions experienced humiliating discriminating, disenfranchising discrimination, every day of their lives on this mortal coil. Laws animated by the right moral spirit can and do make a difference, a big difference, in a civil society.
