So you think that the person who makes $100,000 a year loses because there is someone who makes $300,000 a year? You think that the silver medalist in the Olympics loses because she doesn't win the gold? Really? I find that hard to believe. My whole point was that people are different. You always felt the pride of your accomplishments perhaps because you've never had anyone look at you like you don't deserve to be somewhere because of your skin color or gender. Yes, I am suggesting that that happens. Yes, I already said that it happened to me. In your world view, people are only able to be equal AND actually have the tools to help themselves only if that doesn't happen. In my world view, people are different and some mindless collective doesn't make decisions that are supposedly best for everyone. People who have the same interests can band together to meet their needs.
