Disagree with you Os. Being equal means equal oppertunity and equal responsibility.
I do not favor affrimative action because it ignores the part of equal responsibility, however I believe it is up to the government to somehow find a way that everyone should have equal oppertunity.
Sure you can tell me that everyone has "rights" and "Constitutional protection" but without quality education there is no income, with no income there is no affordable living, without affordable living there is the streets, and on the streets I see no oppertunity.
In courts when I see a poor african american family using a public defender with tons of cases and just putting this one at the back of his mind and trying to settle and not win then the prosecutor with his high dollar attorney looking to press charges and seek jail time, I don't see equal oppertunity.
I'll agree with you there is no equal responsibility, fine, affirmative action as it stands is not okay with me, however living without equal oppertunity does not. Our government should be doing something to eradicate the lack of equal oppertunity, and as citizens, so should we.
