#5 He should sue.  We all have certain unalienable rights, of which also include the freedom of speech and to pick your son's name. The supermarket chain's choice to deny him service due to them not "liking" his name is discriminatory.  Their denial of this common service on ground of them not liking his name is the same as denying the service to blacks and latinos because they do not like their color or names.  I myself am Latino and have felt racism, but have come to the understanding that as long as they do not physically harm me, they have the right to think how ever they want to think.  My wish would be for them to change their views and no longer be racist, but they have their right to choose to be or not to be.

#8 Well, not exactly, Jim, we have certain laws about that. But I'm comfortably certain I can refuse to serve 'Adolf Hitler Campbell' if I wish.
