"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

Discrimination

I am surprised at how much discrimination there is out there. Not the type of discrimination that we normally thing of. Where old people are being shoved out. Where blacks and such are denied work.

Today we have a lot more subtle issues that are more along the lines of allowed discrimination.

Examples:
A man is denied to ride the bus because he is too fat. (Discrimination on health issue)
Senior Citzen only parking. (Agism)
Parking for families for pregnant women and small familes. (Family of origin)

While this is more subtle then tall beer pong tables for wheel chaired people it is still there.

The sad part is that we allow it. So why are people shocked when a racist is on his way to the precidency of the United States of America. Obama had a choice of church. Yet he stayed there. The problem is that he would have heard the issues going on. If he did not, he is a fool or just plain stoopid.
