No, I'm not opposed at all.
In order to make sense, even the simplest rules require some human judgment. Context is as vital in law as it is in life, and I believe laws can never cover every eventuality. Therefore, I don't struggle with the (seeming) dichotomy of my necessity for laws of equal housing and employment and my abhorrence of any laws of behavior and manners among service providers.
Common sense requires us to accept the idea that everything can't be regulated into perfection, and the more precise we try to make laws, the more loopholes we create. Every decision involves benefits and risks, and every single situation is different. Judgment and balancing are always required, and the words of law can never provide the final wisdom.
