Hate crimes: How do you feel?

[Jerry_Westerby]

How do we make up for past injustices by committing new ones today?
I notice your comment did not say “reforms guarantee *equal *rights” and as long as that term is absent I will object. I used to work for a company that proudly stated that they did not discriminate against people on the basis of race, creed, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. That was the first paragraph. The second paragraph listed all the special classes and programs they provided … depending on your race, ethnicity, or gender. The mind boggles.

I’m trying to use shorthand, because my posts are already semi-legalese. equal rights is the goal of every reform.

anyway, I want to thank you again for the friendly and vigorous debate, haven’t seen that online in a long time. I’m sure we’ll meet again.
