Well, Slef, when you get right down to it, that's pretty much how I feel. Even though I understand EEOC laws and generally support them. The laws were definitely necessary at a time in our nations past and, IMO still are, because the free marketplace does not always behave as perfectly as we would like. In your example though it would be a disaster for Wal-Mart though because by and large, discrimination is no longer an accepted practice in our society. They would lose a sizable chunk of their "non-white" customer base and a sizable chunk of their white customer base that simply didn't want to be associated with them. It would be a disaster for them, but in a perfect free market that would be an option they would have. They could hire only a certain racial group and suffer the consequences at the sales counter. ______________________________________________________ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List "Welcome to RollTideFan!
