Don't quite know where to start, but you've made several points. The first is the mention of well-known RINOs, as if that invalidated my point that it's not the Dims voting for Dims that are responsible for this mess. That's what I got from your post that I replied to. My reply was to remind you that the state of things cannot be laid entirely at the feet of one party. If you're excluding RINOs, then many, many people would continue with Dole, GHW Bush, Kemp, many neo-cons, Trent "Chemical Weapons Treaty" Lott, and now, with the Prescription Plan, our current President. Sure, Democrats are almost exclusively bad; but we have many elected Republicans just as bad. Don't lay it all on Democrats.

I, with you, couldn't care less if homosexuals are allowed to do what they want in private (you put it more graphically and more inflammatorily). I DO care when the mechanism of that tolerance involves stripping the last vestiges of the right of a state to make its own laws, the same as Roe v. Wade. It's bad law. I'll go farther: it should be legal for homosexuals to do what they want in private (IMO); but the change needs to be made in the laws, not by unvoted upon Amendment to the Constitution.

The comment about Michigan is not worth replying to, except to say that Michigan letting "a few blacks into law school" is one of the poorest summaries of the issues that I've read.

You are right in your last sentence: it will have to get a lot worse. I believe it will, sooner rather than later.

You are right, that is a pretty weak comment. What happens with me is that I have a tendency to post something quick and to the point as like most people (not all) I dont have a lot of time to devote to posting. However, let me speculate on some numbers. Lets say there are now 2800 law schoolers at Michigan or 700 per year. (Wild guess) Lets say with affirmative action they let in 10% or 70 blacks. Without AA it likely would be around 5% or 35 blacks. So, in one of the largest universities in the country we get 35 extra black attorneys, not all of who will practice law. In a nation of nearly 400 million people, that doesnt cause me any grief at all. Maybe I am minimalizing an important point but that is what I meant by a "few blacks". By the way, my comment was in no way racist if you took it that way. I am in favor of any person who wants to upgrade him or herself.
