i was just being a wise ass. sharpton amuses me and i wish he would have gone further in the race. ( no pun intended) i loved when he asked dean how many minorities he had brought on board.
jackson... i don't know. personally i think he is on one non-stop publicity stunt/shakedown. it is america, so i guess it is his right, but i don't place much value in the things that fall out of his mouth. it is only one incident, but i really love the time that jackson set his crosshairs on NASCAR (no, i'm not a race fan). he cried discrimination because there was only one black driver/team on the circuit, but there were lots of black fans. he started to organize boycotts and a small protest. well NASCAR just wrote his group a check and said "we'll do better." he went away and has not spoken of them since he got his check.

I went to one such school in Zimbabwe. An old traditionalist private school that produced men of such character that would seem boasting if I got started. What a great pity is all I can say; the education in these schools was some of the last of it's kind - they saught to make the complete man. Something a dictator can do without.
