<DIV>Andreas,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You don't need laws to force people into a job because they are male, female, white, non-white, gay, straight, Jewish, catholics, etc. All you need to do is let people be who they are. If an individual is clearly discriminating, hold them accountable. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I don't even think you need laws. Just rate each business, like you do Consumer's Report. If a business is rated horribly in discrimination, people would stop going to the business and it would disappear. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best Regards,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan<BR><BR><B><I>Andreas Schou <ophite@gmail.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">> No, I don't think we should ignore discrimination.

sexual<BR>> orientation. gender etc. It is shallow. We should look at people based on<BR>> merit and qualifications.

Now you've identified the reason why there should be laws to ensure this.<BR><BR>-- ACS<BR><BR>=======================================================<BR>List services made available by First Step Internet, <BR>serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. <BR>http://www.fsr.net <BR>mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com<BR>=======================================================<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><p>
