Actually, as a public carrier, they ARE under an obligation to accomidate everyone.28
Can you cite your authority on this?33
Let's see. . .ever hear of the Federal Aviation Act of 1932 ? Or the Civil Rights act of 1963 ? Add in the Americans With Disabilities Act, and you've got the authority. The Aviation Act puts passenger aircraft in the realm of public accomidation, the Civil Rights Act prevents discrimination in public accomidation, and the ADA requires equal accomidation for those with a "disability". 60
So big government is good when it caters to your likes.
Judging what is legal or not should be based on objective law -- does it protect individual rights and private property rights or does it abuse them. Also, does the law uphold private contracts between consenting parties or abuse them.
The smallest minority is the minority of one -- the individual. Protect individual rights and all larger-than-one minorities are protected including the majority.
As it stands now, much of what is legal is in fact legitimized crime under the color of law. There are people -- politicians and bureaucrats -- responsible for writing and implementing those criminal laws and they must be indicted for dong so.
Politicians and bureaucrats are parasitical elites because they gain unearned paychecks by destruction of individual rights and private property rights. In short, we are the hosts and they are the parasites.
Great reply. [Speaking to post #60] It's too bad that many folks here likely are/will be surprised by your answer. Public schools.....321
As you and most everyone will likely be surprised by my post.
On discrimination laws, EEOC laws and disability laws. Government intervention into peaceful, private activity among consenting adults will make things worse rather than better.
[Response to #310] LOL! I can see that argument with a flight attendant or sky marshall within 30 minutes of takeoff or landing at DCA.313 *
Try it, and let me know how you fare313
*Side note: Read post #323 for wider integrations regarding post #310.
[Response to #313] Welcome to the dis-connect between the Law and Reality. . .314
Welcome indeed. Read on....
"Read the Fourth Amendment. A person can't even trust their "employees" -- government officials -- to let them into their home and or business without a search warrant if the property owner doesn't want to let them in. But somehow a business is forced to trust a total stranger with an open door policy. A person/business owner can refuse to allow a government agent access to his property but not a total stranger! And get this, it is the government that can't be trusted without a search warrant that is telling property owners that they must trust total strangers.
"Discrimination laws are unjust."
Government intervention into peaceful, private activity -- notably, free association wherein either part is free to walk away from the deal being offered -- will make things worse rather than better.
