Just sayin’ that the bar is set so low in Georgia even Clarence Thomas can slither over it.

Justice Thomas is too classy to be honored by naming a highway crossing after him. Let’s do it the proper way, with a statue.

Read his book. It is an excellent story of the intellectual and spiritual growth of a man overcoming not only the financial poverty of the South but the intellectual poverty of the Eastern elites.

Don’t reveal yourself to be half-educated by using the word ‘kudo.’ Kudos is the collective noun meaning “fame or renown resulting from achievement.” One gives kudos but never a kudo.

NPGA:

You don’t have to do any research. Although I’d still suggest you learn not to insult somebody before you ask for a favor, my kids seem to be catching on to that.

You make an assertion and now I have to do the research to confirm its verasity? OK Bubba….

No, I like Justice Thomas and this would fly in the face of the “they must be dead to have something named after them, and if they do have something named after them we can rectify the deficiency” resolution I want to pass.

Chris Farris, make a note to add this to the GFYRC’s legislative agenda.

I’ve read 2/3’s of Mr. Thomas’s book and listened to several speeches he has given. Before commenting on the subject of affirmative action and how ” Mr. Thomas may or may not have benefited from it” I would suggest reading the transcripts or the book so as not to write from a position of ignorance.

He does discuss the topic head on.

Don’t start your inquiry with an insult. Do your own research. It won’t take long, but you probably shouldn’t start with Justice Thomas’ own book. This is something that I don’t know about at all, but I would suspect that he does not draw attention to such incidents. In fact, he would rise up a little in my estimation if he DOES clearly mention them.

Me thinkest thou protesteth too much…and the “common knowledge” is????? Seriously enlighten me as I inquired in my first comment.

NPGA: I wasn’t “automatically” dragging affirmative action into Thomas’ history, I was working from some common knowledge about his biography. You seem to be projecting onto others.

Not every black person who has achieved success has done so because of affirmative action. Folks devalue individual achievement when they at times eroneously and automatically attribute people’s success to social programs.

Each person’s journey is unique contrary to our laziness in wanting to lump folks together in groups.

I honestly do not know it that’s the case with Clarence Thomas. If someone out there has done the research and has facts they would be interesting to digest.

We could rename DeRenne Ave. the BullMoose Highway!

I disagree, Erick. I think we should name roads, bridges, etc. EXCLUSIVELY to American military men and women, diplomats, etc. that have died in service to their country. I think it would be a strong reminder that the very land we are driving on was kept free because of the person who died for it.

Chairman Ehrhart, Rep. Chambers, any thoughts?
