		<description><![CDATA[Egalitarianism, communism, socialism, all the &#039;isms&#039; of the left are various degrees of protest against and rejection of reality, protests against life&#039;s essential &#039;unfairness&#039;. Liberals and leftists suffer from arrested development, never having accepted that life itself is unfair. 

And because they reject life&#039;s inequities, they are congenitally unable to appreciate that life&#039;s inequities are absolutely essential. Without the reality of inequity, of individual genius, civilization would never have arisen. 

Most ironically, without reality&#039;s inequity, evolution itself would be impossible. Evolution is the process of beneficial &lt;i&gt;individual&lt;/i&gt; adaptive mutation. That is passed on to the individual&#039;s descendants  and gradually, generation after generation, spreads through the greater population. Nothing &#039;fair&#039; about that, is there? But without it, nothing beyond the amoeba is possible.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kurt Vonnegut Jr. wrote in one of his novels, way back in the 1960&#039;s I believe, a short chapter on inequality. In one of the instances he mentioned a ballerina and her partner who were so graceful, so light on their feet and so beautiful that it was decided they were to be handicapped to make &#039;the rest of us&#039; feel not so clumsy/stumbly/ugly. They were made to wear masks and extra padding on their bodies and weights on feet, legs, hands and arms to counter their abilities. When the first handicapping didn&#039;t work well enough, more were added. Eventually I think the powers that be decided that they could not perform anymore at all since even with handicaps they were still better than most others. I&#039;m going to have to buy all his books again. I know  it wasn&#039;t in &#039;Breakfast of Champions&#039; or &#039;Slaughterhouse 5&#039;. Just can&#039;t remember in which novel but hey, they were all great. A man ahead of his time in many ways.

		<description><![CDATA[An excellent article for people who are always spewing &quot;social justice&quot; without fully understanding what it actually means. This is the &quot;utopian ideal&quot; that so many Leftists get excited about and fail to understand. History bears time and again that &quot;egalitarianism&quot; doesn&#039;t work. What&#039;s &quot;fair&quot; to one, is not &quot;fair&quot; to another. And, always under this &quot;egalitarian&quot; system, people are made poor while the rich elite are not subject to the same rules as everyone else.
Why do so many Leftists believe that if communism has failed everywhere else that they&#039;ll somewhow, miraculously, make it work here?
Liberalism is a mental disorder.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Excellent analogy for showing the difference between equal opportunity and equal outcome.  We are not all &quot;equal&quot; but our Constitution guarantees that we shall all be treated equally under the law - a concept the poor egalitarian can never seem to grasp.
(Got to admit though, I liked the part where the beautiful should date those of us who are &quot;less than beautiful.&quot;)  ;-)]]></description>
