Subject: On This Day: Brown v Bd of Ed Decision From: GUEST Date: 19 May 02 - 11:33 AM Copy of NYT article here: http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/big/0517.html#article Also of interest: 1792 The New York Stock Exchange was founded by brokers meeting under a tree located on what is now Wall Street. 1987 An Iraqi warplane attacked the U.S. Navy frigate Stark in the Persian Gulf, killing 37 American sailors. Iraq and the United States called the attack a mistake. 1999 Labor Party leader Ehud Barak unseated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israeli elections. 1999 Makah Indians in Washington state harpooned a gray whale for the first time in 70 years. And Happy Birthday to Enya and Taj Mahal!

Subject: RE: BS: On This Day: Brown v Bd of Ed Decision From: catspaw49 Date: 19 May 02 - 11:57 AM Click for NY Times Article Click Here to see that we're going to give it back I'm telling you, once you give up on a hard won decision, the process will go backwards rapidly. Your mileage may vary........but rest assured you'll be driving in reverse. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: On This Day: Brown v Bd of Ed Decision From: GUEST Date: 20 May 02 - 10:18 AM While I understand the connection you're trying to make Spaw, I think you are comparing apples and oranges, and deciding they are all really pears. I don't think you can equate educational segregation by gender (which was never enshrined in the law) with the complete segregation of blacks at all levels of society, by race. I included the curious information about the 1987 "accidental" bombing of a US ship in the Persian Gulf by Iraq as a reminder of how different the world is pre and post Shrub I's presidency. I'm so pleased that Shrub IIs plans to finish the job daddy failed at, have gone horribly awry in the last month. The Palestinian-Israeli war may turn out to be the silver lining for the entire Middle East, if it means it will keep the US out of what surely would be a bloodbath (both American and Arab) in Iraq. |
