Affirmative Action Banned!

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.

I make 250000 dollars a year, and am younger than 30.  I sit in an office about 4 weeks out of the year, but i got there with the skills instilled in me by family and hard work.

President Bush won because he was voted in by judges.  Deal with it. 

People in corporations were either put in because of their parents, which is much the same way that others get in, or because they weasel or work their way up. Both are hard work (those appointed are hard pressed to keep up with the markets, and they quickly learn the trade), and it is hard to work your way up, while weaseling requires more finnesse.  If you want to get a better life, work harder, be smarter, and think things through.
