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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
I'm not out for quotas. I'm out to attract the best young men and women of our nation.
It is true that too many people are not getting a fair opportunity to get ahead. We must find ways to help them move up the economic ladder, and everyone - business, government, and nonprofits - needs to play a role.
When you've got a society that is diverse, what happens is for a time, the issue is integrating your minorities into that society.

If you don't like affirmative action, what is your plan to guarantee a level playing field of opportunity?
Little opportunities should be improved.
You can't have a competitive, egalitarian meritocracy if only some of your citizens have the opportunity for a good education.
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?
