EJ-If people like you are responsible for the wealth and the future of this nation, I would refer you to the thread "How the U.S. will finally lose its power?" It is evident that you are either not conversant in the founding principles of democracy, or simply don't care about them. If we are ruled by the ignorant, we will certainly decay. If we are ruled by elitist, racist bigots who consider breeding more important than ability, the masses of which you are so disdainful will do the same to you as was done to Louis XVI, and with as just cause.

As far as the proms go, yes, they are technically within their rights to hold such an event. Not all acts which are legal are morally acceptable, however, and I cannot condone, nor pardon those who condone, the continuation of such outmoded, divisive ideas as racial segregation.
