AND IF I MAY JUST SAY THIS

[bobemm]

The thing that infuriates me most about Prop 2 isn't really the amendment itself. It's the people that got the ball rolling -

1) Mean bigot who doesn't even live in MI (Ward Connerly)
2) A small group of whiny white victims (who, to my knowledge, were not even poor) who may have made it to the bottom of the admissions pool at their school of choice if it weren't for affirmative action. But rather than blame themselves for not having put a little bit more elbow grease in while in high school, they portray themselves as the victims of affirmative action. WOW, WHAT A POWERFUL STORY, SOMEBODY HAND ME A KLEENEX.

I really, really don't want to see these people get their way. I don't want to see something that began as a refusal to take responsibility for the consequences of ones behavior end up as an amendment to our constitution. That's most of what frustrates me.

3) Bill Clinton.

Bill Clinton may have stirred this pot in general (as I said, I'm going to have to speak to him about this), but he had absolutely nothing to do (personally) with MI's prop 2.

The reason why I'm voting for Prop 2 is because I don't want any more colored people in my classes.

I heard a little blurb on the TV news here that said some scientists figure the oceans could be basically dead by 2048, due to species disappearance. That's two years AFTER our current government plans to fully implement their current air pollution standards. WAY TO GO.
