It is not nonsensical to say that a prostitute can't refuse customers. -dick I don't often reply to my own mail :-), but I hope I didn't throw an impression that I advocate that a prostitute loses the right to have her rapists arrested. Prositiutes have that right, as lunch counter operators have the right not to be forced to cook on their own time. I only claim that there is no immediate inconsistency in a principle that owners of a public business must serve all comers AT THAT PLACE OF BUSINESS. -dick -------
