I know I said I was backing away from this thread, but I agree so much
with what Naomi said above, that I feel it necessary to make that clear.
And while I'm here, it's been implied that I don't see our lack
of diversity as a problem. That is far, far from the truth. What
I am saying is that it's not as simple or as "clear cut", IMHO at
least, as some make it out to be. Very few things in life are.
