Reply #12: I just don't think that it's a viable remedy to discrimination

[Junkie Brewster]

In my view, and probably the views of other libs, the government exists to protect people from the tyrrany of the majority. I don't think that the repeal of the Civil Rights Act (for example, I know not even crazy Rand Paul is proposing it) would bring back Jim Crow on a wide-spread basis, but I also don't think that we can count on the market to correct discrimination.
