Reinout,
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I agree with and understand the
intent. Unfortunately those with said intent seem to have elected to ignore
the law of unintended consequences which I have attempted to spell out and
demonstrate. Such policies and intentions aren't always practical to
enforce and do more harm than good - making bad law. My experience is that
a policy of affirmative inclusion accomplishes everything that can be
accomplished without the negative side effects.
best,
