C'mon Beth, K.A.Jabbar vs. *who* pray tell? *SOME* type of 
affirmative action is needed but *short* people can't make
it in the NBA unless they could jump 5'(;-)!  K.A. can't
compete w/ M.L. Retton at gymnastics (or any of her also
rans either). I'd probably rather have their (NBA, WBA, DOD(
Heh, Heh)) salaries/budgets cut and create special interest
groups (bad choice of words) rather try to homogenize
everything. Separate but *EQUAL* doesn't have to imply
discrimination - just the *EQUAL* part has to be emphasized.
Eg. coed showers for most people would be too distracting.

Just a few nore $.01's
