Good work HSIG! However, I disagree regarding a woman president. I have said recently that Hillary won't run (or if she does she won't win)...nor will any woman in the next election. (Btw, I don't hate Hillary like most do, and as a matter of fact, should she ever run, I am perfectly open to listening to her and giving her a fair chance.) Much depends on who the other candidate is also.

Yet, I do think, at least in your lifetime (if not mine), there will be a woman president. It is getting closer and closer IMHO. However, I won't, and would hope others won't, vote for a woman simply because she's a woman; or a minority, for that matter, simply because he/she is a minority. I have to prefer one candidate over another, even tho many times there may not be much of a selection.

As far as the story regarding the police shooting of the young boy. I don't know all the facts, but from what I've heard and read,I do agree with you. There is way too much relying on the "race" card. I see it very often in my school too, and am tired of it. It's so easy, I think, to treat everyone the same. There shouldn't even be a race issue in these circumstances. Yet, I suppose I'm a dreamer to think that this is even possible.
