    Sometimes you need to let someone else use the court.

I've thought of this before - because my analogy breaks down on the physical space aspect. It makes it sound like I'm trying to keep people out of a physical space - but it's not that at all... I can't think of another analogy at the moment - It's just... maybe a totally flawed analogy. :-)

I'll admit to twisting the phrasing bit to fit the analogy. What wanted to tie into was: participating in a freedom should 'keep people out' of the freedoms they are attempting to participate in, such as marriage or access to healthcare. There are a couple of 'impasses' where it gets conflicted, the government can't compel you to do anything in regards to private association or property, but for businesses or public services I think their is an obligation to certain behavior and to certain codes of conduct
