- CHILL, Nosy. I'm not getting defensive about Russ and Norman bringing
- up points in the Colorado Amendment 2/ general hiring practices discussion.
- I don't have any illusion that either is a bigot in these matters. I am,
- however, dismayed that such bigotry does abound and that political means
- must (sometimes) be used to prevent it from trashing the lives of good
- people, who are intelligent and industrious enough to make a living.
-
- Believe me, I KNOW that it's hard to turn off a politician once s/he has
- been "unleashed" but I still feel that it's worthwhile, in some cases...
