...means are we attempting to trivialize the content of Grace’s e-mail. The assumptions contained within it are offensive, misguided, and fundamentally false. However, Grace’s e-mail should have been handled very differently. Numerous articles argue that race is largely a social construct, and that intelligence does not appear to be influenced by racial genetic differences...

Furthermore, because the job losses due to cutting service on Saturdays will occur primarily through attrition via retirement and early retirement packages, they will not do the economy too great a disservice. Thus, the Postal Service should continue ahead with its well-researched plan to cut costs...
