Here's the point - you're looking at affirmative action, and you're looking at marijuana. You legalize marijuana, no need for quotas, because really, who's gonna wanna work?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Affirmative action based on quotas is wrong - wrong because it is antithetical to the genius of the American idea: individual liberty.
Affirmative action works but we're going to need to muster all our political resources if we are to keep it in place.
The Australian way of affirmative action is setting goals and recognising discrimination and lack of opportunity and deciding to take action and setting some goals and targets. I guess I prefer that language to talking about quotas.
I don't want affirmative action - too much affirmative, not enough action.
Since governmental quotas expand bureaucratic power, provoke a backlash and are unfair to individuals, we need to find a better way to increase minority opportunities.
The third fallacy is that affirmative action doesn't work.
And I always like to stress, it's not a quota, not a set-aside, it's not about race, it's about giving opportunities to demonstrate their abilities to do work with the Federal Government.
I support affirmative action. I support special measures when you need it.
Though it's impossible for us to legislate one's thoughts and feelings, we still need things like affirmative action in place because without measures like it, people in charge would not have, sadly, enough impetus to do, as cliched as it sounds, the right thing.
I think that affirmative action programs can be very important.
