Arizona Affirmative-Action Ban Off Ballot

In South Africa the ANC government is pursuing a policy of affirmative active like a new found religion. No rational person familiar with SA's political history would deny that such action is required after decades of rule by a white minority government during which time whites had been privileged, but now SA has a overwhelming black majority ruling the country and their policy of affirmative action has become almost an obsession. Fortunately the "new" group in the ANC which will occupy the top post after next year's general election has indicated that there should be sunset clause to this action. At the moment it is nothing more than racist and apartheid in a different guise.

Speaking from a distance all I can say is that if Obama becomes the next president of the USA he would need all the talents in the world to keep the conservative sections both in America and overseas in a happy mood. I don't envy him.

by it's very definition, affirmative action = discrimination based on race or sex. NOT the direction we should be going.

No doubt Jan Brewer is a liberal democrat.Too bad they can't have an independant count.

Sounds like something a democrat would try. Cheat or anything of any good.or try to get something to pass a law that is not any good.
