We have anti-discrimination rules that apply to businesses. How about some to apply to customers?

Got me to thinking - and I want to help out the new republican teabag shitstains as much as I can, here it is: my idea is that just as businesses can't refuse service based on race, gender, etc., perhaps we as consumers should be unable to refuse to patronize a business based on company policies, who they give campaign money to, or even - and this is where I really help out the teabagger fuckwits - if they don't sell things we want or need. Why should want or need dictate which businesses get our money? That's totally discriminatory.

I think that any time we don't give a business our money for any discriminatory reason ("I don't need another coffee pot", "They only sell cheese, and I don't like cheese", "It's a woman's shop and I'm a man", etc.) they should be able to sue us for damages in court.

That would be the best world EVER!
