  If this kicks over into the UK, I'm going to have to look at getting my
  office door labels changed ..... ;-)

  It was meant as a joke.

  I think Bush is a great President, and although he receives a lot of
  criticism I couldn't do it any better. I do, however, think people are
  very oversensitive these days to very trivial things. The whole
  Master/Slave debate is a perfect example. People can get away with suing
  for anything, so they'll always nitpick to find a reason.

  I'm a bit surprised that the memo originated out of California,
  though... maybe Ohio or something, but not California... ;-)

  I don't agree with that statement.

  The memo was derived in California. 

  Nuff said.

  This will never go anywhere. Like Jim said, our country is run by
  idiots.

  The three most powerful men in this country are pronounced Bush, Dick,
  and Colin. 

  'Nuff said. :)

  Just be warned.  There are even arguments that the naming of connectors
  as
  Male or female is offensive and needs to be changed

  Humor, even if it is a warning. This guy needs beat with a clue-by-four.

  Hope nobody ever mentions the amount of pins you have to stick in some
  slaves just to get them to work. Might get taken to court for assault.

  Subject: IDENTIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT SOLD TO LA COUNTY 
  Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 14:21:16 -0800 
  From: "Los Angeles County" 

  The County of Los Angeles actively promotes and is committed to
  ensure a work environment that is free from any discriminatory influence
  be
  it actual or perceived. As such, it is the County's expectation that our
  manufacturers, suppliers and contractors make a concentrated effort to
  ensure that any equipment, supplies or services that are provided to
  County
  departments do not possess or portray an image that may be construed as
  offensive or defamatory in nature. 

  One such recent example included the manufacturer's labeling of
  equipment where the words "Master/Slave" appeared to identify the
  primary
  and secondary sources. Based on the cultural diversity and sensitivity
  of
  Los Angeles County, this is not an acceptable identification label. 

  We would request that each manufacturer, supplier and contractor
  review, identify and remove/change any identification or labeling of
  equipment or components thereof that could be interpreted as
  discriminatory
  or offensive in nature before such equipment is sold or otherwise
  provided
  to any County department. 

  Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance. 

  Joe Sandoval, Division Manager 
  Purchasing and Contract Services 
  Internal Services Department 
  County of Los Angeles
