Freedom of Association

Voted for Obama? Go elsewhere for medical care.

Of course (I say, “of course” because, well, it’s a Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind organ citing an Academia Nut Fruitcake, so, of course), the linked article misses the point, with one “professor of bioethics, law and medical professionalism” misstating the doctor’s notice as simply a free speech issue vs. medical ethics, when rightly the issue is also–and more importantly–one of free association. As one writer, speaking normatively, has put it,

That the Constitution guarantees freedom of association to each of us does not mean that we may each associate with anyone we choose. It means that we may associate with whoever also agrees to associate with us.

Exactly.

Too easy. The iPad: the new low-hanging fruit in Apple mockery.

Addendum: from the site linked above:

Take a stand against vanity, conceit, and the cult of personality. Don’t be fooled by purveyors of dumbed-down, locked-down, semi-functional pieces of planned obsolescence. Computers and electronic devices are tools, not fashion accessories. They do not define who you are or what group you belong to. Any company or culture that insists otherwise is deeply creepy. Apple haters unite!
