		<description>Excellent post.  I&#039;m glad that you end by denouncing the behavior while maintaining that it does not mean one has a natural right to be free from discrimination.  

You&#039;re absolutely right that the idea of a right to be free from discrimination quickly descends into utter incoherence, since it requires a subsequent distinction between &quot;okay&quot; discrimination and &quot;bad&quot; discrimination, and the whole idea collapses on itself.

That said, and this is more a commentary on the state of things than this post, but your argument is unlikely to convince or get a fair hearing from anyone inclined to disagree with you.  But sometimes it&#039;s still necessary to make the argument, if only to illuminate the line of reasoning for those inclined to agree.</description>
