Well, we might just have to agree to disagree.

I happen to think that discrimination is to prejudice as intelligent, informed analysis is to ignorance.

Being a person of discrimination, of detailed analysis and having the ability to distinguish objective differences, is a highly desirable human characteristic, and a hallmark of professionals in the analytical fields.

Being prejudiced, or being a person who exersizes prejudices as part of everyday life is the height of ignorance, and, to me, means the person has not ability to discriminate in a rational manner.

I have not heard you say anything about my point regarding the value of being able to quickly and accuratley discriminate against serial killers and rapists in the local community??

Gettin pretty philosophical here, ain't we?? heh
