Trying to 'shun' somebody for their non-invasive behaviour (e.g. two dykes kissing in a ball park) is the peak of anti-freedom. If a person really respects freedom it is more than 'freedom for me but not for thee'.
There's a difference, though. There cannot be any law saying that two dykes can't kiss in a ball park, but neither can there be a law saying that a private organization has to accept it in their place of business. The ball park may seem a borderline case, but clearly the baseball association and that particular ball park are both private organizations; thus they have the right to do as they please. This is not to say that doing so is strictly politic, but that's for them to worry about.
The kissing of the girls was nobodies business, in or out of the park in a FREE society.
Right, but neither is it the government's business what the ball park or the baseball association does with the dykes in its park. -- Riad Wahby rsw@mit.edu MIT VI-2/A 2002 5105
