China blockaded people inside their home recently; it’s not impossible here. Mob rule is pretty crazy.

I just don’t see the defense for your position of “if I don’t want colored people in my grocery store I can kick them out!” Or any other absolute rights of property ownership. The purpose of anti-discrimination laws is to prevent private property owners from restricting access due to uncontrollable conditions like race, religion, sex, nationality and so on. It’s fine if you discriminate against anyone not wearing a black tie to your fancy restaurant but to say only Jewish people wearing black ties are allowed is not. Even if you didn’t want other people there.

A balance must be struck.

I generally like Jefferson’s quotes. But what does it mean to “attend to too much liberty”? What would that look like? Government intervention and laws restricting liberty seems like how it is attended to.
