The Governor should have stood his ground. The time is ripe to have this debate.
I was going to post something but you better-posted me. Dead on.
Not only are the girls white, but the drug dealers are primarily black. Whether that is or is not a result of history does not change 'what is'.
"A equals A" comes from Ayn Rand (who for those who don't know - was a pretty serious plain old philosopher and not just a political philosopher. Her political philosophy derived directly from her basic assumptions) - she was talking bout exactly this - and how once you play games with it, you're screwed (or a collectivist.)
That a thing ... is the same thing ... that it is. As a corollary, it is not ... something other ... than what it is.
When you can be impeached, thrown in jail, socially excommunicated for standing on that ... then it's Animal Farm land. But it's not new.
And now I have gone and said I wasn't going to post and I did, right after a rant about integrity. I must be GOPe.
