"Your comments suggest a need for relatively permanent affirmative action. The perils of such should be obvious."

Some people cannot see any "perils" in permanent affirmative action. They are already in favor of permanent busing. For them, the need for affirmative action, busing and other forms of government coercion will never end. Why? Because some people believe in equality of opportunity, and others believe in equality of result. The latter mistakenly believe that if there is not equality of result then it must be because there is not equality of opportunity. The socialists will never be satisfied until income is equalized across the population and the government assigns us all housing based on government mandated racial and gender balancing quotas. Their quest for equality of result is never ending.

Your insight on American society is impressive.
