34. No offense taken...
but I'm often curious about such matters.

Take, for example, "Affirmative Action", I can not think of one instance where affirmative action has effected me negatively, prevented me from achieving something or have I seen anyone lesser qualified gain something over me. The only thing I've seen was someone getting financial help to pay for tuition. However, you would never know this by listening to everyone's incessant whining about the issue.
