Leaving the meta-discussion aside for a moment:
mcgeedo, I'd like you to respond to the question I asked at the bottom of my post above. Do you or don't you believe that the current state of the world (or, country, I suppose) provides equal opportunity for all? If not, what would you propose to do to address that?
I actually agree with you entirely--if everyone really honestly were given equal opportunities to make of them what they will, we'd have a very workable society; the bright, eager, hard workers would rise to the top, and the loafers would sweep their floors, and few could argue that things aren't tidily as they should be. Obviously that "if" implies I don't think that's how it is right now.
