		<description>&lt;p&gt;Systems of nepotism disadvantage poor white people as much as they disadvantage poor minorities.  Affirmative Action doesn't right this imbalance of opportunity, it simply shifts the weight of the imbalance further onto poor white people.  The only equitable solution is a system based on socio-economic status.&lt;/p&gt;

* * * * * * 
&lt;I&gt;Yes. Good point. I totally agree.

		<description>I started to lose interest in the show at the close of Season 4 when the girl that worked so hard was not also hired. I felt she got a bum deal.

Then during Season 5 I was busy with a "Real Estate" project of my own - building a storage shed - and just did not have time to watch it after about half-way into the season.

Now with this shocker I do not plan to watch it ever again. I just don't care for "The Donald Trump Show".

Besides that, I am tired of watching the immaturity of the contestants with their infighting. It has become quite stale.</description>

		<description>Wow - big news. I have to admit, I haven't watched The Apprentice since Kendra wiped the floor with Tana's bedazzled ass. Now, with Carolyn out, I have even less of a reason to tune in. Sounds like he's turning it into a cross between The Apprentice and The Osbournes.</description>
