      @DonRyanMusic @SamHarrisOrg I think it does depend on the state of the idea in society. Ex: gays in Islam states would need the protection

      @edgeoforever @SamHarrisOrg I agree. There are also localized communities in the US in which a bigoted business could conceivably thrive.

      @DonRyanMusic @SamHarrisOrg National activism, publicity need to step in. Law is a blunt instrument.

      @edgeoforever @SamHarrisOrg Those are vital as well. But shouldn't there at least be a base level of legal protection from discrimination?

      Replying to @DonRyanMusic

      @DonRyanMusic @SamHarrisOrg The base level is in 14 Amendment and state laws. Discrimination is illegal.

      @edgeoforever @SamHarrisOrg And the Civil Rights Act. But unless I misunderstood him, Sam was arguing that these laws were unnecessary.

      @DonRyanMusic @edgeoforever @SamHarrisOrg I think he's saying culture has changed enough that laws no longer necessary. I mostly disagree.

      @OneHipNinja @edgeoforever @SamHarrisOrg But unfortunately, we're still in the realm of "I think he's saying...". Hopefully he clarifies.

      @DonRyanMusic @edgeoforever @SamHarrisOrg Indeed. Discrimination is different from simple speech. It's action, and worthy of regulation.

      @OneHipNinja @DonRyanMusic @edgeoforever I agree that my recommendation may be premature. But, eventually, I think we'll arrive here.

          @SamHarrisOrg @DonRyanMusic @edgeoforever why stop at jobs and biz, why not use law to end ethnic dating preferences? That's also racism

          @SamHarrisOrg We should create the right to "reasonable expectation of accommodation" in businesses open to the public.
