Comments on: Election Hang Over http://youknowwhatpart.com/2006/11/08/election-hang-over/ Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be. - William Hazlitt Mon, 28 Jun 2010 16:28:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: ryan http://youknowwhatpart.com/2006/11/08/election-hang-over/#comment-231 ryan Wed, 08 Nov 2006 15:18:48 +0000 http://youknowwhatpart.com/archives/875#comment-231 Ug, I hadn't heard that sound-bite.. I hate that movement more than I did 2 hours ago. The part that gets me is that this started over one woman's inability to go on a waiting list. She wasn't denied admission to UM, she was asked to wait to be admitted. In fact, if she'd sucked it up and waited a couple months, it's likely she would have been admitted. This faux concern for equality is so blatantly hypocritical if you spend 5 damned minutes researching the issue and not listening to parties who have a vested interest in you remaining stupid. The demographics play that out; I have no doubt that, if I were to break down the votes by districts, the white-wash would run right through the center of the state. Probably came in the backrooms of a lot of churches, too. Ug, I hadn’t heard that sound-bite.. I hate that movement more than I did 2 hours ago.

The only way that may ever happen will be through acknowledging existing problems and working in a sensible way to correct them and certainly not by declaring "All done!" and ammending the state constitution with words to that effect.
