If I *had* to be judged, I'll take a page from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's book:
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
*sigh* And we're still dreaming, Dr. King...
