Musing of One Wondering What Captain Nemo Would Have Seen Had He Piloted the Nautilus Through the Bermuda Triangle

The other day we watched a news broadcast about a report submitted by the US government to the United Nations. In effect, the report apparently acknowledged that the United States discriminates against practically everyone in the world. As the litany went on, a rhetorical question occurred to us -- if all of these groups are being discriminated against, who's doing the discriminating? The answer eventually occurred to us -- it's the straight white male under 40 who is the only group not mentioned as far as we could see. Then another thought occurred to us -- that there are not enough of them to do all that discriminating so someone else must be involved. Perhaps an additonal answer is that some groups which are being discriminated against are simultaneously discriminating against other groups. My goodness, we certainly can get confused. It also occurred to us to wonder -- whence came the divine wisdom which enables some in government to determine whether discrimination exists and, if so, whether it's good, bad or indifferent?
