It may well shock you but I do receive Human Events in my email. Also, mailings from Newt, Laura Ingram, and your Queen Bee... Annie C.

I saw first hand affirmative action and looked at it as providing an opportunity to those who would not have received it no matter how hard they tried. It can never be denied that many large corprations closed their doors for management positions to both minorities and woman. The glass ceiling was unbreakable until recently. Affirmative action gave many the opportunity to fast rack. Sadly, I had to release some and a few resulted in discrimination suits claiming they werw released due to their color rather than incompetence.

I also saw the result of the what I consider to be the white man's response to affirmative action, namely, the Peter Principle result in chaos, loss of business, and lower employee morale.
