[Strangler Lewis]

No worries, no worries.

I would draw a distinction between true public accommodations such as the greasy spoon and private associations such as the Boy Scouts or the good men of Augusta National, the right to free association--and to hide from women--being protected by the First Amendment (despite not being mentioned in it). Of course, there are grey areas since few private associations exist without hiring people and selling stuff. Still, most of the grey areas push towards classifying associations as public accommodations and not the other way.

I certainly agree that our cherished freedoms can lead to culturally debatable results--the freeing of the guilty, gun f*cking, and the proliferation of the types of porn I don't enjoy looking at. However, as the country--or the part we live in--is presently constituted, I still can't help thinking that you are standing on a principle that stands little chance of goring your own particular ox.
