So what if someone is pleased or not pleased?

Maybe I hate Lima beans. So much so I organize a Lime beans
haters society. How many Lima bean farmer's live do I ruin?
Does it matter?

Maybe I just don't buy your product? Like cigarettes? And get
a bunch of my friends to help not buy your product? How many
people's lives do I disrupt because of this?

In a free society, free association will help some, hurt some, and
at times be neutral.

So what and too bad -- freedom does not generate nirvana, just
freedom.
