Social Engineering Doesn’t Work

While Affirmative Action seemed like a good idea at the time when it came out, times have changed. And one thing is for sure, when the government tries to force certain things to happen, unintended consequences, usually bad ones, happen.

Affirmative action in colleges have actually held back blacks and cut back on the amount of black college grads. The liberals keep pushing for affirmative action, but the numbers don’t lie. Whenever you tell people they need the state to get ahead, it creates a psychology of dependence which is very unhealthy. It’s time to rethink the whole idea.

Or just can it, as its basically become a racist system. When you put one group before another, that’s what happens. But when people feel they need a crutch like this, it makes them weak. Humans need some kind of struggle at times to make them stronger. 

As with most liberal Strides Towards Utopia, results don’t matter.  You take credit for good ones, blame bad ones on others.  Even better, if there are bad results, you point and sigh and ask for more funding, which you usually get.
If you want to see social engineering types turn on a dime, try this.  When they are pissing and moaning about how [despite program X] , [problem Y] is still increasing, suggest shutting down the current program and trying something different.  A sonic boom will rock the area as they whip out a carefully chosen handful of cases “showing” the program works.  “We just haven’t been given enough funding to do it right...”
It is the utter inverse of free market capitalism.
