I agree in priniciple with your general philosophy.
Having said that I believe we can agree that "going and getting what you want" as a philosophy does have limitations. The examples I could list are numerous.
This debate has been hammered out lots of times before so.....
I still see some hiring done on good ole boyism, gender, race, looks, etc.
To suggest it doesn't happen just seems to me a little "idealistic".
