Quotas will end when opposition to them does. Perverse? Yes. But it would be in keeping with other bits and bobs of civil rights legislation through the years.

I don't understand what you are saying. "Quotas" will end because we won't call them by their name? What are these other examples you are citing?

*sigh* No citations - just anecdotes. That’s probably a good measure of my anger and a sign that I need to sign off for the day.

As far as the anecdotes go ... all I have are the chats with friends and neighbors. My sense about quotas is that Liberals feel they were justified at one time but increasingly believe them to be unnecessary. They do, however, take any criticism of them NOW as saying they were NEVER required and then they get a big ol’ stick stuck someplace uncomfortable and fight tooth and nail for them.

A few years ago I stopped speaking ill of Affirmative Action and merely asked questions about it. Most of my liberal friends suddenly had a lot less support for it and a few of them folded completely. I get the sense that a lot of liberals are perverse enough to take that attitude.

Thanks for the good words and goodnight =)
