In a free enterprise world, one should not forego any competitive advantage (certainly one should not count on the other fellow doing so, although one is free to *try* to get him to do so to increase one's own competitive advantage, etc.). I would want to be called whatever would bring me the greatest net benefit (grants, affirmative action placements, whatever...), minus whatever downside aspects there are. Capitalism reduces all values to exchange value. What's the "net"? \brad mccormick -- Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works....
