Life is not really fair. You either adapt or you do not. A grand social experiment about redistributing wealth from those that have to those that do not can be abstracted to many other forms. What about the classroom? Should the teacher devote many more hours to the slow students because they cannot learn as fast as the quicker students? Should those that accel IN ANYTHING, be it academics, creation of wealth, atheletics, stop and devote more of thier own time effort and/or resources to help those that do not?

SDR, unfortunately…The thing about the classroom and teachers is sort of already true. It’s called the “no student left behind” program and the emphasis on the standardize tests. Public school teachers these days are being asked more to bring up the rear end up to average, and those above average are basically left alone as “good enough”. Yes, even in renowned Carmel Valley school districts.

Also, I’ve got another analogy, sort of on the light side…I suck at football (or any sport for that matter)…. Asians are under-represented in the NFL. Where’s my “no asian NFL wannabe player left behind” social program? I’ve got not athletic talent, I wasn’t born with athletic skills. I’m athletically underprivileged. How about spreading the opportunity to me? Hey, I wanna make an NFL salary. I want my cut. I should be drafted for the San Diego Chargers under some social, equalizing program. Heck, the way the Chargers are playing, it might do some good.
