Where Does the Discrimination Go?

A similar thing, somewhat attenuated, is going on with smokers. If people were allowed to meaningfully discriminate against people that they didn't like (e.g., pot-smoking pig, you need not apply here for work...smoker dogs can't rent here) without facing legal sanctions, they'd be a lot more willing to forgo making things illegal. Since anti-discrimination has taken that club out of the golf bag for most folks, they have to reach for the 'ban it or harrass them with laws' driver to express their animus. And make no mistake, they WILL express their animus, it's part of the human condition.
