I guess this is too depressing a topic.
My consolation is life is not fair but God is good.

1. Richer’s essay is basically sound; however, the Boston school committee was judged guilty of gerrymandering-busing to achieve segregation and then had to bus to integrate. Leave it to Government to screw it up in two different ways!

2. Concerning law enforcement and security officers – we saw how well the police did in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. I see incompetents in “security” who don’t know their own security regulations and/or often cannot speak English – rather pathetic.

3. Actually at Dulles Airport 2 months before 9/11, ALL the security line people looked like fundamentalist Moslems from the same village in Uzbekistan. This country didn’t even think to use American citizens.

4, Unfortunately, McCain is about the same as Obama on affirmative action and immigration.

5. After 8 years of Bush and his cronies, it is hard for “conservatives” to mount a decent attack on the abuses of affirmative action. Look at Gonzales, Miers, Goodling, Yoo, and the other schnooks at the so-called Justice Department.

Immediately came to mind a documentary I saw yesterday on Brazil’s university quota system. It was aired on CBC’s French network. They take pictures of students and a secret committee decides who’s black enough to benefit from the quota system. It does invite some nasty comparisons. Is this something that’s in store for us North Americans ? Time to work on my tan, I guess.

Whatever gets him out of Massachusetts is fine by me.

It’s the typical divide-and-conquer strategy employed by the left. Separate people into groups. Convince them that they have grievances against the “other,” then sit back and watch the conflict simmer.

Lo and behold, the politician has the perfect solution: give him more power and he’ll devise the ideal plan to make it all better. But vote for him first. And send campaign cash too.

It has worked like a charm so far. What could possibly go wrong?
