    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Par for the course.

      When you're under a mandate to hire more of anything, Asians (nah, they're too smart, got enough of them), whites (Allah forbid, not THOSE people, we got enough slave masters), Hispanics (okay, but not at the expense of more correct minorities) and blacks (Sorry, African-Americans, even if they originally came to the country from Europe four generations ago. They are what we're looking for), you write the specs for what you need or you cheat the specs.

        Gummint spec cheating is so much more widespread than one would think. It just has the appearance of impartiality.

          It's a fine art form, if you are familiar with it.
