John:

I totally agree, I understand the need to have a chance. I pushed more company policy to give people a chance and turned out right. He was hispanic with a felony conviction, policy left the choice to me (subtle in that if something bad happened then it was up to me) the guy was one of the best employees we had. Same for another gentleman, African American but admited he was borderline illliterate. Again took the chance and found a job that fit his talent.

Yet I fought and fought against the method of identifying the minority as wrong.

I can't say its right or wrong to feel what you feel about the tickets. But I sure understand and agree with what you feel.
