   ...and I do not, in general. I have no objection to watchdog-type
programs or laws that make sure minorities and women are given the SAME
chance, but I do not support "reverse" racism and sexism either. NO
preference should be given to ANYONE, even a minority or a female, based on 
sex or race, and that's all most affirmative action quota-based programs are.
