[Mpls] Re: Smoking Bans, fascism, and illicit drugs

[Tim Bonham]

So how about a "whites-only" bar?
People could "with whom to associate".  They could freely choose to go 
there, or to go to some other bar where they might feel more 
comfortable.  Some bar owners would cater to a "white" clientele, and 
others would cater to a "mixed" clientele.

I know Dan would never agree to such a situation!  But can't he see that 
this is where his libertarian argument is leading?
