Bets?

Affirmative Action as a policy will be given to a long awaited death penalty now that Barrett is on SCOTUS.
And the biggest beneficiaries will be blacks.

I won't bet against you on the first part, but evidence from California already suggests you are dead wrong on the second, so I'll put $10 on that.

My proposed standard of measurement
would be percentage of Blacks enrolled in top law schools 4 years after the change, assuming no change to reverse the decision by Congress/Biden before that.
Which proves nothing.
Of course college minority enrollments might tick up, that’s the easy part.

Long since read, along with numerous critiques and endorsements of it, Ward.

But since you don't like my standard, how to you propose to settle such a bet?!
I can accept PayPal.

Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade
Masquerade!
Hide your face, so COVID will never find you

Masquerade!
Every face a different shade
Masquerade!
Look around—there's another mask behind you

Masquerade!
Burning glances, turning heads
Masquerade!
Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you

Masquerade!
Grinning yellows, spinning reds
Masquerade!
Take your fill—let the spectacle astound you!

I am considering dropping this site after the election.

Anybody interested in taking on the moderator position if/when I go?

If so, drop me a PM letting me know why you'd want that joy-inducing power. Thanks.

I'd do it just to ban people.

I hope you reconsider.

Your voice is a reasoned and intelligent one and would be missed.

And if it is what it is, it is and

happy trails.

but I hope you hang around

So, no standard. You just want to declare victory without a basis beyond your own ego?

Yeah, this is what I mean about the lack of rational response on the board.

No, she doesn't.

You might want to heed Ward's advice and read the Constitution.

And such a stupid answer. I take it you cannot simply accept the truth. What else is new?

It's not the testing that is causing us to have case numbers rising so fast and so high.

No, I don't need the comparative increase in testing to increase in cases to tell me that. I don't even need the increase in hospitalizations!

There's other shit that is even more compelling as evidence.

That was a rational response. With documentation.
Yours was not.
But I applaud your realization you have no reason to lord over this forum.
