When it comes to the common law, the courts can be used to correct market irregularities. The problem's of course when there are disagreements on what is and isn't [ir-]regular. How about busty women? A great many men like a busty woman, but up until now a British department store has been charging extra for over-sized busts. Huh? Does this place have, like, any competition?
Well, I might just leave it to you to decide if charging extra for bigger busts is a permissible practice. There's lots of for and against arguments: the department store should discriminate at its leisure and its final decision will depend on whether this discrimination hurts sales. Or on the other hand a bust size is about as optional as one's sexual orientation, and changing it is costly.
Yes, there's definitely room in this debate for some good argument...

Hugo's Way With Words
Chavez has quite the mouth on him. Either he understands how translators work or he hasn't a fucking clue. He dished a real mind-blower recently, calling the seizure of American facilities a "revolutionary offensive." Note to the Chavster: it ain't a "revolution" if the government does it, but hey it sure as hell was offensive.
Kinda like that book.
