Look where Affirmative Action got us.

What is equal about that deal?
It just created more resentment.

I wonder if female Senators are paid the same as the male Senators are ?

Something should be done to be sure that they are treated the same as the ones they represent -- maybe take away 20% of their wages.

Wonder how they'd vote then???

Is this necessary? I am curious how it will do more than the equal pay act of 1963. Also, is it Constitutional, because it requires employers to prove their innocence, and I thought here in the United States, it was innocent until proven guilty?

Is all of this just political BS so the two parties can bicker over ideals and actually get nothing done?

We need more issues that get nothing done.

And there is the problem. Your not educated enough to understand the big difference in public servants and private sector employees.

Oh my.... we certainly have an ego problem here. ^^^^

I don't intend to defend my education to YOU, wild HOG man.

The point is that these elected representatives are to pass laws that protect the welfare of their constituents. That is the American citizens.

But, of course, the Republican Party only represents the interests of the wealthy and of corporations. Somehow they continue to get the votes of the uneducated and the religious who follow them around like they're some kind of spokesmen for God himself.

and BTW -- The proper pronoun for your sentence is You're,... not your.

At the time it was implemented it was badly needed. Racial and gender prejudice has deceased since then, and we need it less now. I'm not sold on unraveling affirimative action just yet, but the goal, I believe, is to get our world to a place where affirmative action is not only unneccesary, but the force that drives the need for such a law is not in our realm of thought.
