[P1] truth in advertising...still OT

on the fateful day of 12/20/02 9:58 AM, in a dazzling display of literary
acumen, Harry D.  Corsover at harry at corsazzi.com altered the course of
history by digitally penning the words:

I am not responsible for the actions of my ancestors any more than current
minorities are owed anything by me for what was done in the past. They are
no longer discriminated against, except getting a whole lot of stuff handed
to them on a silver platter. As a WASP, it was very difficult for me to find
scholarships for college & grad school, but there are so many minority
scholarships out there, it's mind-boggling. I'm not against minority
scholarships, but with all the aid out there to help minorities better
themselves to get them more qualified, I see no reason for lowering the
standards for those select groups. Our nation has apologized profusely for
slavery, and it's time to move on, put skin color behind us, and focus on
the real issues that divide our country, like computer platform. ;^)
