AA-Affirmative Action exists only because of the fact that in order for a black man/woman to secure a decent position in Corporate America, (I don't have the time nor the inclination nor the desire to refer to Blacks as African Americans), law such as AA MUST exist in this screwed up country that we call America, and which we CLAIM that ALL people are to be treated as equals and the basis of our country is that we are all supposedly FREE. Since this is BULL, our government has come up with AA in an attempt to force large companies (Corporate America) to hire at least a few minorities. Thus, the complexities come into play, such as people attempting to make statements like YOU, along with so many others claiming that it is unnecessary, unfair, etc., etc., when the fact is ALL of the people who are making these statements, philosophic concepts, unrealistic beliefs, are in fact WHITE, thereby having no concept of why these types of laws have become necessary in the first place. I'm qualified to edit, write, proofread, and have found an error in your brief article in one simple word: "employment". This word was misspelled "employement", in one of the last paragraphs of this article, which I have a "knack" for spotting and correcting for major corporations in our Blessed United States. Yet, I have never been able to secure a position utilizing this skill in the "redneck" state of Oregon since I've resided here. Some blonde-haired, blue-eyed, inexperienced counterpart has been able to secure position after position that I've applied for. Many times, I've seen the same ad run a few months later for the same position due to the fact that Blondie could not deal, while I sit back UNEMPLOYED and CAPABLE!

Divorce is consistently associated with juvenile emotional disorders, crime, suicide, promiscuity and later marital break-up. Is this racism against “Kids of Divorce? Are divorced parents kids different from the former? Some likewise Judith S. Wallerstein in “The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce: A Twenty-Five Year Landmark Study”, she stands: “In cases of physical abuse, for example, the divorce is probably necessary. Otherwise, though, even a bad marriage might be better for kids than divorce” Why does this sound familiar…Parents generally stay together for better or worse, those who argue that a truly unhappy marriage is worse for a family that splitting up might be. In some cases, perhaps many, staying together for the sake of the kids could be helping no one at all… Silently discriminated they do not have any special rights… yet, because I’m sure that after www.childrenofdivorce.com others will come to help those poor kids… Divorce… some sociologists say it can be “worse than a parent’s death.” Divorce is consistently associated with juvenile emotional disorders, crime, suicide, promiscuity and later marital break-up.
