#1 Affirmative action: it CANNOT be mended, since two wrongs don't make a right. END IT NOW!

#2 "What do the racial classifications at issue here do, if not accord differential treatment on the basis of race?"

Profound indeed. Little wonder the justices enjoy lifetime employment. One would hope that the plight of disadvantaged South African-Americans is also give consideration.

#3 Besoeker dear, I'm afraid you give no indication of having suffered from (as opposed to during) your early deprivations. One might go so far as to say you've quite thrived on the challenge... and make for much more interesting stories, later. :-) Goodness knows, Mr. Wife's tales of his younger days are ever so much more interesting than mine, and he only grew up on the other side of town!

#4 The Kansas City Case the Donks and their party of race baiters never want the public to understand - an imperial judiciary imposing taxes without consent, money no object, all the things the excusers claim will create success, and one big failure.

Its about standards and discipline stupid. Not about color or income.

#5 What's scary is that this was a one vote sway. Apparently we still have some window lickers in the high court.

#6 Its about standards and discipline stupid. Not about color or income.

Also, some of the models and values of a community need to be changed. Education and learning must supplant gangsta rap and the adulation of "some" high paid sports celebrities who are basically criminals. Drugs in both black and white communities need to go.

#7 Arizona's largest school district - TUSD - noted in today's Arizona Daily Star that they will not be effected by the ruling. Essentially, they will keep on shifting students around according to race...or prevent them from changing schools due to race. This is why the charter schools are thriving here...

p.s. TUSD also ostentatiously ignores restrictions on bilingual education...it thrives regardless of court rulings @ etc. :((
