Re #116: that's right, "I always get the strong sense that those that
 argue against affirmative action......etc". But that's how they come
across: I don't know nor did I assert that they are racist. I did not
suggest what you suggested I suggested (this sort of thing happens a
lot here - people jumping to unwarranted conclusions). 

But read all the pronouncements from the anit-affirmative crowd: do you
get any sense that they have a *better* idea, or that they even recognize
that there is even a problem with prejudice and discrimination? No.
