The whole idea of having a law is to FORCE people who disagree with
you to do what you want.  The whole idea of AA legislation is to
force employers who want to hire in a governmentally-approved manner.

The idea that these employers will "implement AA in a fair and
rational manner" is ludicrous.  The government is trying to force
them to do something they don't want to do, so they're trying to
wriggle out -- just as YOU would do if the government tried to force
YOU to do something you thought was wrong.

Most laws are full of loopholes, irrational provisions, and nasty
side effects. People who disapprove of the law will of course take
advantage of this.  All of this is utterly predicatble. If you
complain that a law isn't having the effect you envisioned, the fault
is in the law, not the public.
