Compulsion is Compulsion, no matter who does it. This is Brilliant Theft is Theft, no matter who does it. Freedom of Association has no room in it for *private* action that takes that away Freedom of Association. If I have a business and have voluntary associations such that I choose to serve some people and to not serve others, that might make me a jerk and it might lose me business, it might make me smart and it might gain me business, but it's got to be my choice. If I would normally serve the current disliked minority in my shop except for the fact that if I'm SEEN to serve them by the wrong people I'll have a private campaign against me as those people do everything possible to ruin me by preventing me from doing business physically or by attacking my customers or suppliers, then I am NOT free to make those choices.

I thought the American kid did a very good job as well, despite the complaining about him. I think he was cast because he *can* do martial arts and not because he's a great actor but I thought his acting was fine.
Sparrow was great.
Jackie Chan and Jet Li were wonderful, as always. I didn't recognize their alter-egos at first and didn't know the one character was Jackie until the end. And I didn't see the "twist" coming at with the Monkey King even though it was established quite well before hand.
