If your county even HAS a Commissioner on Human Relations, it's probably a sign that human relations in your county ain't that good.
Nah, it just means that the liberals have a lot of clout in the city or county that has one. When they ask for another plaything, they get one. Sometimes it turns into an instrument of coercion, but again, I think that's more related to a town's PC quotient than to actual human-relations problems. However, these worthless panels may well worsen human relations themselves.
