“the majority loses their right to excellence to the minority definition of fairness. How unfair life truely is.”

The cost to our society is staggering. We sacrifice a lot of potential for the principle of “equality”, which makes the loss hard to gauge. “Equality” was one of the French Revolution’s principles, not the American Revolution. Ours succeeded, and theirs failed. And yet now we seek to follow the path of theirs.

let's be honest though....we all know people that have skated thru life...they're pretty, or they're tall or have some other superficial advantage...or they have rich parents...or they have a line of BULL that hides incompetancy and laziness....

giving jobs to minorities who are unqualified is just another unfairness....

its open unfairness where as nobody would ever admit that they hired that secretary for her size 38's...at least not in front of decent folk....
