Answer to a problem that doesn’t exist: Seattle is explicitly banning discrimination on the basis of caste, making it the first city in the US to take such a step.The Seattle City Council approved an ordinance on Tuesday that amends the city’s municipal code to include caste as a protected class, alongside categories such as race, religion and gender identity. The law prohibits caste discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations and other arenas, and allows caste-oppressed people in the city to lodge complaints of discrimination. This is all the brainchild of Kshama Sawant, an Indian-American politician and economist who has served on the Seattle City Council since 2014. She is a member of “Socialist Alternative”. This simply creates another group of “victims”.

He was stopped 12 times in the past five years on suspicion of driving without a license. There is something terribly wrong here. And everywhere.
Watch alert: If you aren’t watching “Accused”, you are missing some of the best tv on the air. The writing, dialogue, and story lines are just freakin’ incredible. On my absolute list.
As if I needed another reason: I make no bone about how I feel about Liam Neeson and his hypocrisy. Now I hate him because he’s going to destroy something I do like. It’s been said he will be remaking “Police Squad- The Naked Gun”. Why doesn’t he remake Ben Hur or Gone With the Wind or one of those other second feature films.
