Affirmative Action Banned!

Name: Anonymous 2006-11-09 21:25

My state (Michigan) has wisely followed in the foosteps of California and banned racist/sexist affirmative action programs in Michigan, that would have discriminated against people based on nothing but their gender or the color of their skin, all in the name of promoting equality.  

It passed by a pretty wide margin 58% - 42% of the vote.. or, another way of looking at it: 

2,137,574  ---  YES on stopping AA
1,552,459  ---  NO on stopping AA

Hopefully this'll spread like wildfire throughout the rest of the states.

What is still hilarious is that American companies just go overseas to hire cheap labor, or just pick up the illegal immigrants, so all those white nationalists can bark all they want, they're going to lose some of their jobs to those "firriners".
On the subject of the founding fathers, one of the most influential men on their thoughts, Adam Smith, did not believe in the "Hidden Hand of the Market" gospel, as saw government regulation as absolutely necessary.  Back in his day, a "factory" was 10 people, which would create a closer personal bond between the employer and employees, rather than the faceless higher ups today that void pensions and lay off thousands of dutiful workers.
As long as I see more "PURE CAPITALISM OMG" in America when it is by far the most Capitalist nation in the world, I keep getting the idea that perhaps there is a correlation between America's fall into decadence and poverty as a consequence of loose corporate regulation.
