Question: How many body bags have to be filled before a "Wise Latina" decides that maybe, just maybe, Affirmative Action isn't such a good idea.
Answer: All of them.
Of course, you could fill in any variety of liberal you like, in place of "Wise Latina." Liberals are not much for reviewing their positions and considering new evidence, especially evidence that contradicts their quasi-religious belief system. Just look at the Ricci case that was just recently decided in the Supreme Court. The Dissenting liberals, led by Ginsburg, decided that if enough blacks didn't score high enough, that was sufficient evidence that the testing was racially biased. Ginsgurg even went so far as to say that written tests were naybe not the best way to determine firefighting ability. This from a woman, as Ann Coulter so tactfully pointed out, whose entire career, from Primary school on, has been based on taking written tests.
Now, I don't know about you, but if someone can't figure out the right answers on a test, with no pressure other than that of actually taking the test, Then I'm not sure that that is the person I want on the crew when my house is butning down, and my family is in danger.
We are quickly moving from a society in which ability is prized, to a society where whoever can claim to be the most victimized gets the prize: To the losers go the spoils.
Is there anyone else out there that feels like they've suddenly awakened in a strange world, where what is logical and intelligent is shunned, and stupidity and rash behavior are at a premium?
