Part 4 of our refresher on core civil values we look at the individualist concept of total equality before the law as the universal social leveler. Collectivists deal with abstracts like "positive inequality but the bottom line is this just promotes inequality in law which is the original seed of social injustice. For those interested, I invite you to look at the Canadian charter and read section 15(1) and 15(2). If you detect a enormous confict in ideals between the two, then you have seen why section 15(2) and to a lesser degree, section 6(4) have entrenched inequity under the law and established collectivist race/group politics.The embryonic stage of a dystopia.

... On the video: he has confused 'fair' with 'equal'. Handicapping is 'fair' as all participants are judged according to the rule. 'Fair' only has meaning within that framework. 'Equality' depends on the factor being measured. a pound of apples is equal to a pound of oranges. The selection of which factor is to be used to measure 'equality' is part of the rules. The judging of the effort of the participants, measured by one's current performance against one's average, is a common practice. The participants are all 'equal' in some specific way, and as long as the rules are always applied to every participant, then it is 'fair'. In games, where one plays or not at one's will, 'fair' is superior to 'equal'. In a society, where one may not withdraw at one's will, where every ability, every disability, every habit, every affection, every goal, every physically determinable element, every factor by which one can discern any individual from any other is in play, there is only ONE trait shared by all - they exist, they are living beings. That we exist is the only 'equality'. |
