When I sold furniture years ago, the City of Seattle used to send over these payment vouchers - where they would pay the bill for beds for certain welfare cases.
They used to MAKE me sign this stupid little form on the voucher and fax it back before I recieved the OK - it said:
"The City of Seattle does not support discrimination. By signing this form this Vendor agrees not to discriminate"
WTF,
sellng a product for profit? How do discriminate if you are selling something for money? Even if there was a way to do it, is this form really useful for enforcing anti-discrimination laws? It's a prime example of how meaningless, ineffective and pointless and how simply stupid some people are to think that our government is really doing something useful.
I was disgusted that my city thinks their stupid little form is going to change anything.

Edit: I remember another time, I was discussing with a friend of a former GF who was notiorious for telling you everything she knows (we all know one
) and is so insanely liberal and PC she got so frustrated with me since I was against affirmative action she actually got to the point where she said
"SO, YOU ARE A RACIST THEN! IF YOU DON'T AGREE YOU MUST BE A RACIST!!'
My answer -
"OK, maybe I am. What exactly are you going to do about it?"
Funny, she couldn't quite come up with an answer to that one..
