Oh yeah BABY! That would be totally cool and... diverse to boot. I mean,
think about it, instead of spending all our money on the old
run-of-the-mill-stuff, we could diversify our spenditures and broaden =

all, with everyone working on it (or paying for it) together, whites, =
african Americans, Native Americans...
See ya!
