You'd be wrong about that. The "wingnuts" who think private businesses should be able to deny service to anyone for any reason tend to be of a libertarian persuasion. "Conservatives" associated with the Republican Party have long since stopped trying to advocate an absolute right to private property. Libertarians, on the other hand, will tell you that a private business is free to tell anyone what they can or can't do on on the business's property (this includes apartments, which the business owns). You shouldn't just lump such a large group of people together like that. Contrary to popular belief, there are more nuances to political philosophy than simply two polar extremes.

Do most topics in the lounge forum have anything to do with e-books?
