The more inclusive you claim to be, the more exclusive you must actually be

This is from Best of the Web:

“WE WELCOME DIVERSITY” proclaims the Web site of Ocean Haven, an Oregon inn. “Respecting the interdependence & diversity of all life.”

Well, maybe not all life. The homepage offers some qualifications:

FOR REASONS OF HEALTH & SAFETY OCEAN HAVEN CANNOT ACCOMMODATE SMOKERS, PETS, FOLKS TRAVELING IN A HUMMER, OR FOLKS WHO VOTED FOR BUSH & HIS NATURE DESTRUCTIVE POLICIES

Wow, this place sounds almost as diverse as a college campus!
