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.

Left to its own devices, the market can do some pretty horrible things to society in a very short span of time.  Maybe the carrot (subsidies for hiring minorities or something) would have been better than the stick (Affirmative Action), but government intervention in the economic sphere of some sort is often necessary to benefit society as a whole.
