I would agree that AAP is discriminatory, but I think that it works, and I don't think that those of us who belong to the majority, ie whites are going to, for the most part, suffer terribly. Also, I wuold questionthe wisdom of criticizing something without having a better solution. I don't get any benefit from people smoking cigarettes. They make me quite ill. Sometimes I'd like to take shotguns and blow off their heads, I think the world would be a better place. Or, as mam would put it, I think it would work and I don't think the majority would suffer terribly. I don't have a better solution. I wouldn't implement my solution, and for the same reason, I don't like the implementation of AAP. Andy Tannenbaum Bell Labs Whippany, NJ (201) 386-6491
