        The line from Matt Houston near the bottom made me laugh.  They
        brainwash em young these days.
        \_ interesting article, ignorant comment. How was the quote you
           reference any more brainwashed than the other guy....
           \_ Matt's X vs Y comparison is apples and oranges.  He's comparing
              what affirmative action is based on vs the stated purpose of
              affirmative action.  I find the race/price bake sale to be very
              clever.  You'll note the school closed it down to avoid an
              outbreak of violence, not for any other reason you might imagine.
              This raises the question of why would such a thing cause someone
              to get violent?  I suggest anyone who lacks such a minimal level
              of self control doesn't belong at school, but rather prison or
              a psychiatric ward.
              \_ Um, perhaps because it's deliberately insulting.  Not to
                 mention a failed analogy.  And the comparison is not apples
                 and oranges.  It's a 19 year old who hasn't taken enough
                 rhetoric classes.  Do you disagree with the goals of
                 affirmative action?  With the methods?  Other than quibbling
                 over a teenager's verbiage, you've said nothing --scotsman
                 \_ Just getting a kick out of the state of education and
                    complete inability for Joe Student to make a point in
                    a semi-coherent manner.  Being 19 is no excuse for being
                    stupid.  Even worse he let himself get quoted being
                    completely stupid.  Rhetoric classes shouldn't be required
                    to not make an ass of one's self in public.  As far as AA
                    goes, I don't care.  The pendulum is swinging back and
                    it'll be dead soon anyway no matter what I think.  -op
