"but freebies don't create workers they create takers who don't connect financial gains with work or careers but rather just putting their hands out and saying pity poor me.affirmative action? screw affirmative action, what truly works is work itself."
It amazes me when bold statements are made that paint an entire segment of population with the same brush. I would love to see statistics backing up the above statement.
And then I would love to see them applied to my niece, whose free-ride to Washington University in St. Louis enabled her to now be working in the field of sustainable architecture. And I do mean working,the same way she worked diligently all through high school and college. Oh, and she's Jewish.
If they had affirmative action back when your father was looking for a job, he wouldn't have had to change his name. My hope is we will not slide backward.
