Your point: it is an insignificant number. But, I see from your profile that you are almost as old as I. I know that in 30 years or so you've seen the camel's nose in the tent many, many times in many, many areas that have grown to fill up the tent. My tolerance for those noses is ended--the damned things should be smacked ASAP. I think that the problem comes from thinking it is a small thing--forgetting the principle--and ignoring it until too late. It has happened with firearms, with affirmative action, with highway fund appropriations and seatbelts, with smoking, and with everything else in American life. The idea of diversity for its own sake and without regard for merit has metastasized throughout our institutions, public and private, and is destroying us, IMO. This frog is saying the water is too hot--let's turn the heat off.
One other thing, then to a company barbecue: if you pose your objection to my argument with state's rights, i.e., Michigan can do what it wants, then I am with you totally, provided that all states can do it the way that they want.
