gerrymandering of voting districts

Boy, if you want real problems, try the approach of the CBCF! One thing this country has to face up to some day if the failure of the Civil Rights movement. It was well intentioned, and did a lot of good to start, but. IMO, there is now more race hatred in this country than there was 20 years ago, and it is getting worse.

In Hawaii, the kids who consider themselves to be Aboriginal are taught, in separate schools, that all of their problems are caused by the white man who stole their land. Never mind doing anything for themselves, or that their ancestors were "stone age" slaves of the local Tribal Chiefs when the white man showed up.

When I look at the racial problems in the U.S, and the way that "pressure group" Politics is making it worse, I really despair of any solution in the near term.
