[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-165 Eliminate Needs-Based Justification

[admin at bango.org.bb]

I really don't know what you are on about. First recognise a difference 
between diversity and inequality. Secondly, you should have noted that I had 
no objection to the inequality, it is the gross inequality of which I speak 
and object to. Other than that you can continue to argue with yourself.

Yes.  For example, we are all born with different levels of talents in 
various things and reach different levels of success or lack of success.  It 
is pure insanity to expect any "equal" result for all people.  That takes 
away incentive to get better.  Why should I bust my ass at something if I am 
not going to get anything more for it than the other guy?  And once that 
starts to happen EVERYONE suffers because that results in a general lack of 
advancement of the sort that has been experienced in, for example, socialist 
economies.  It just doesn't work, it goes against basic natural fundamentals 
and basic arithmetic. You cannot micromanage things to that level.  So you 
have some people who have a natural interest or talent in something.  They 
work hard at it, not because they are doing it out of some altruistic desire 
to "help people" but because they derive pleasure from it OR it comes easy 
to them and is very lucrative.  So they create great things from which the 
rest of us get to benefit from having in our society.

Life is not fair.  Can you imagine someone attempting to create a forest 
where every single tree is exactly equal?  It would not be able to advance 
beyond the weakest member.  It would die, it would become extinct.

Equality is one of those things that *sounds* nice but in reality is 
impossible.  Would you play a video game where nobody could be any better 
than anyone else?  I *WANT* my children to advance beyond their peers.  I 
*WANT* them to be more successful.  I am not interested in impeding anyone 
else, but I am interested in taking the best advantage of opportunities as 
they come along and having skills to take advantage of them.

When I hear people talk about *equality*, I generally hear self-loathing. 
Someone is envious of what someone else has and believes they can never 
attain it, so they want to take away what someone else has in order to 
somehow make them more equal.  That is destructive and hurts everyone.
