Without a doubt.

Yet there is a popular wave of libertarian fundamentalism in this country that refuses to acknowledge that private businesses can actually do harm to the public welfare.

Commie!

Seriously, though, I can’t believe we’re having this discussion in 2010 with a contender for the US Senate. He needs to be asked what other standards gov’t shouldn’t thrust upon private businesses, like Equal Opportunity, and soon. If you’re going to allow a restaurant to not serve Latinos then I’m pretty sure you’re okay with it choosing not to hire them, either.
