...rags and chunky gold chains to comply with the new "business casual" rule for games and league events. To tackle a perception problem, NBA commissioner David Stern has banned all headgear, shorts, T shirts and necklaces visible outside clothing. "Everybody has their own style," says Iverson.

Either you believe that the free market always leads to fair wages, or you believe that free-market wages are sometimes unfair. If you agree with the former statement, then you should not claim to support the current wage paid to the janitors. Otherwise, you ought to debate the merits of a specific living wage, not argue against its very existence...
