Guido: Oh, that. "Not Allowed" signs are the latest trend! The other day, I was in a shop with my friend the kangaroo, but their sign said, "No Kangaroos Allowed," and I said to my friend, "Well, what can I do? They don't allow kangaroos."
Giosué Orefice: Why doesn't our shop have a "Not Allowed" sign?
Guido: Well, tomorrow, we'll put one up. We won't let in anything we don't like. What don't you like?
Giosué Orefice: Spiders.
Guido: Good. I don't like Visigoths. Tomorrow, we'll get a sign: "No Spiders or Visigoths Allowed."

One thing is WHAT you sell, other is to WHO you sell.... i think you are mixing concepts here. Amazon sells to everyone, but, like a bakery does not sells cement, they choose to stock some product instead of other. Are we going to force all businesses to sell whatever we want them to sell because we want them to?
