What if the *real* reason for the use of force is that the employer is unwilling to hire that person, etc. ? By the way, I don't see how force is being used except in an economic sense. Now, if a private company wants to discriminate against a group, I guess that's their business, just as it could then be the business of the group to raise hell about it and thus damage the companies business in return. But I don't think the government has any business with such companies. Isaac Dimitrovsky
