Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: A waiting LIST or a waiting POOL?

Suggest you might be at risk in "choosing" in that activity can be interpreted 
in a variety of ways.   Since the '60s choosing seems to be singularly seen 
from the outside as thought of as a way to discriminate against those that are 
not the norm, as in race, sexual orientation, etc.
