But trust me, the liberal side of the political equation has done little to help and far more to ruin this country at practically every turn. From the creation of the welfare state, to frivolous lawsuits, to the creation and expansion of federal taxes, to affirmative action..... What's your problem with affirmative action? Well I'm a business owner that has contracts with the city of Issaquah Washington. As an independent contractor with the city, I must adhere to their rules on affirmative action employment. So rather than hire a electrical engineer of 30 years experience who was Caucasian, I have to hire an employee of color, with less experience. That now means possibly more training, inferior quality work, more issues with their work because of their lack of experience. Why as a business owner must I be FORCED to hire someone of less experience to meet affirmative action requirements? Why can't I just hire the right person for the job, no matter what their color of skin is? We live in a society. This has obvious benefits, but it also demands some responsibilities. One of those responsibilites is to make sure everyone has a reasonable opportunity to succeed and not become a burden on our society. But because there are racist attitudes among many employers, there are fewer opportunities for people of other races. It then becomes the responsibility of everyone else to pick up the slack left by the racists. That's why we have affirmative action. So don't blame the government and don't blame people "of color". Blame Canada..... (hehe, just kidding). The problem originates with racist attitudes which have been around for quite a while and aren't going away anytime soon. By cooperating with Affirmative Action you are shouldering the responsibilities that are shirked by racist employers, and for that you should be commended -- after all, nobody is forcing you to do business with Issaquah, are they? _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |

Doug, you really do have some serious mental issues. You are deliberately cross posting everything just to create flames.
