Whoa, take it easy, guys. This is about equal opportunity, which can sometimes means equal outcome. It's about making sure that the Hispanic population is represented adequately, and that it votes adequately......and maybe more than adequately, should somebody need to get into office.


Honestly, this whole thing sickens me. Thank God it's in that sorry excuse for a state that we call New York and not in a decent state. Not much has changed since the days of Tammany Hall, it would seem.

While the act itself is actually quite legal, the spirit of it is deploreable. It spits in the face of the idea of equality under the law and fair representation of the people. Our system of government was designed to protect the minority and guarantee the freedom of the individual, but this kind of crap is only there to ensure that the will of some becomes the representation of most and the will of one. Randolph McLaughlin is on my s*** list.
