- OK, I tried, but I just can't avoid adding my two cents.
-
- PLEASE WAKE UP!
-
- 1. Descrimination isn't just about how much money you make.
- (I guess if blacks, "were making big money," they wouldn't have minded
- not having the right to vote, or sitting in the back of the bus, or...)
-
- 2. While you may believe that A2 is there only to stop gays/lesbians from
- seeking SPECIAL treatment, what it actually does is prevent them from
- seeking EQUAL treatment.
-
- Please read A2 closely. And while you're at it, do a little research on
- affirmative action. Approach it with an open mind, and you might be surprised
- at what you learn.
