So GENDER is the Goal we ought to reach for, in determining whom to send to the Senate?<br /><br />And doesn't that discriminate against OTHER groups who want to see THEIR members reflected in the makeup of the Senate? Where does Race fit? Religion? Sexual Orientation?<br /><br />Are Handicapped citizens fairly represented in the Senate?<br /><br />I mean, really, how far do we want to parse this "Diversity" mantra??<br /><br />The entire effort is ludicrous. What OUGHT to be guiding our decisions is, Who can we put in office (or on the School Board, or the Board of Directors, etc.) -- Man or Woman, Black or White, Gay or Straight, Jew or Gentile -- that can help ALL of us achieve Peace and Safety and Prosperity and Self-Fulfillment? <br /><br />Which Candidate is best for our ORGANIZATION (country, company, church, school district, etc.), not just for my preferred People group?<br /><br />Ironically, a "Diversity" focus like the one I've described here does more to DIVIDE people than it does to UNITE them.Greg Kernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16675476954213465595noreply@blogger.com
