Dennis Tester <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: "Resistance was futile" I'll say it was. Once again, with all the talk about cultural respect and ethnic diversity, you people still went out and nominated the white guys for mayor and school board. Meanwhile, the democrats in the U.S. Senate, including Sen. Robert "sheets" Byrd (KKK-WV), are promising to block the vote of California judge Janice Rogers Brown (a black woman) for elevation to the federal bench. Some of us get it. Others are slower to come around apparently.
