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


670,616,629 mph.  Its not just a good idea, its the law.

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 
        
        
        


670,616,629 mph.  Its not just a good idea, its the law.
