At the bottom of most all my applications is the statement that they won't: "discriminate in hiring on the basis or race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status or status in any other group protected by federal, state or local law."

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
