"You can't fit the people; you have to fit the society to the people. So the diversity's only going to make the people happier and less crime, if we accept the diversity. Of course you have to have guidelines and regulations and laws. That's without saying but we cannot block out diversity; if you block out diversity you destroy America." - Ann DeFalco, Pace Librarian
