				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While looking for a company to work for in Baltimore area, I looked at all local hi-tech companies that have a website. For me it was surprising to see that some companies allocate the central place on their home page to a message &#8220;Minority/woman/veteran operated company!&#8221; I have read <a href="http://sjcomp.com/blog/2009/09/05/atlas-shrugged-by-ayn-rand/" class="broken_link">Atlas Shrugged</a> so I clearly understand why they do it. Nevertheless, the fact that a business puts such a message in the center of attention, instead of its business merits, is disturbing. It is disturbing exactly for the reasons described in <a href="http://sjcomp.com/blog/2009/09/05/atlas-shrugged-by-ayn-rand/" class="broken_link">Atlas Shrugged</a>.</p>
