- One answer is that admissions officers admit students that can't do
- university level work because of affirmative discrimation programs.
- It seems more and more students, both black and white, can't do
- university level work because the public school system AND their families
- have failed to make sure that they are educated. (I could go into my
- anti-public school ranting and raving at this time but I won't.) The
- universities can't make up for 12 years of wasted time.

- Signature follows:
- "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God,
- and there is none else"
