171. Oh, man....

Edited on Sat Sep-06-03 07:32 PM by DoNotRefill

"Gee, didn't that apply to the entire society COLLECTIVELY? Sure it did. Otherwise, every interracial couple would have had to sue."

You're not understanding the difference between a collective and individual right. In the case mentioned, it was an individual right. The reason every interracial couple wouldn't have to sue is because each one consists of individuals. A collective right applies to society as a whole, and does NOT necessarily apply to a specific individual.
