Discrimination, why not?

[Ice]

I partially agree with the OP. The government should not discriminate against anyone if they qualified and able to do the job correctly.

However, people should be free to discriminate against anyone they wish, unless it intrudes on another's liberty. If the latter is the case, the government most certainty should step in. After all, that is it's purpose.

Let me add that discriminate is a horrible, ugly mechanism which I have been the target of many times. I've also seen it happen way to many times. Once again though, it is not my right to tell someone how to act if they are exercising their own personal liberty, although I may find them a horrible scumbag.
