Just got in from formal, and I had a good time. I was invited to a fraternity party on Friday, and I am quite excited. (see this is a different side of me than was here like 2 days ago, but I met a guy in a fraternity that I do not know, and he seems pretty cool) OK well now um reply to Eric on A.A. I am not saying that its not a good idea to have these laws, but they are almost impossible to enforce and have had little success in the past 36 years. Hell I am all about the Death Penalty, yes it is hard to catch the guys that do rape, rob, pillage... but those are things that if the government didn't take care of there would be some Dead S.O.B.s out there. I am not saying that affirmative action is good or bad, I am just saying that these laws are just things that get passed to make the politicians look good to their constituates. Off that topic, OMG I am Freaking!!! Eric you joked to me about that when this whole thing started and I was freaking out, and now... Dude I am starting worry again. I HATE YOU!!!! Even though you are actually just playing the role of the oppinion deviator. It gets really annoying, although it is nice see the other view point.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: I am doing a huge group project on the Fair Pay Act of 2001. Which is an ammendment to the Fair Pay Act of (some year). It simply states the same thing as the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As I see it and fear there is nothing that the government can do to enforce these laws. Companies hire on the basis of knowledge, experience, and personality. Say I am a male hating female whom is interviewing a male. I do not employ him due to the fact that I didn't like him based on his sex. Say I hired him, how long is he going to stay with me due to the fact of my personality. That is what is great about having a college education, you have conflicting personality with your employer you have the oppurtunity to quit and find another job. You have conflicting personality with your employee, you fire them. Say this African American applies to a company and the owner is racist. The owner does not hire this man due to his personality conflicts (he is racist) with him now, or b/c he knows the African American will be with the company for a short time (due to personality conflicts). Having a high turn over rate is not healthy to the company and therefore the employer is doing what is in the best intrest of the company and is not discriminating on race. This is the reason I find Affirmative Action a joke. It is a way for politicians to say hey look I care... but the law can't actually do anything/ be enforced (a theory that came out of my POLS 207 Class with Dan Krejci). I feel no matter what the government does it is never going to ever be able to rid of this problem. A company that has personality conflicts with different people based on race, sex, color... Will always be to a disadvantage out in the work force. So maybe some day the problem will be resolved due to intellegence of employers and employees, and not b/c of the government. The government has little power when it comes to Affirmative Action. Look we have had over 36 years to fix the problem, and the problem still exists with the wage gap closing at less than 1/2 a penny a year (according to something I read, I don't have my sources, Professor Gilbertz has the binder). I feel bad that this is the way it is, and I wish there was a way to fix the problem. Hopefully one day.
