the liberals got quiet after learning Michigan is 82% If we could just have a little fairness, I suspect I would have few differences with the liberal agenda. Fairness in affirmative action, fairness in the judicial system, fairness in foreign policy...that's about it...

Steve, <the liberals got quiet after learning Michigan is 82% caucasian and the University of Michigan is 65% caucasian.> And for a long time, I was debating with TigerPaw over his emphasis on "proportional representation." I guess the facts go against even that goal. Tenchusatsu

Steve or anyone else, can you take a look at this article from USA Today: usatoday.com ... and see how the article came to this conclusion based on the chart provided in the link: The difference in median net wealth between the 10% of families with the highest incomes and the 20% of families with the lowest incomes jumped 70% from 1998 through 2001, the Fed said in its consumer finances report, which it conducts every three years. The gap between whites and minorities grew 21%. I don't see where the gap between rich and poor grew by 70%, nor do I see where the gap between white and black grew by 21%. Is this yet another liberal push piece by the media, or am I missing something? Tenchusatsu
