This is a good example of poor snipping. Let me restore the salient portion
to the above (before my name, immediately follwing the rest):
"A fear by them that they
*think* they *do* understand the Libertarian message (it's legit for
businesses to discriminate based on race, creed, and sex)?"
Your entire response below simply makes no sense and isn't worth bothering
to answer because by artful snipping you misrepresent what I had to say. I
was trying to elucidate comment and thoughts, not claim that I the one and
only answer. In fact, my position is the latter comment that you snipped,
not the former that you retained.
That ain't a chip on your shoulder, it's a boulder! :-)

I'm too danged busy fighting all the other stereotypes out there, such as, I'm supposed to be the size of Kate Moss and all the other starving (...)
