As a kid, I ate beef liver and didn't gag, but it was never my favorite meal. I did enjoy the chicken livers sold at KFC. Today, when I see it in the store, I gag. I buy all of my produce and meats in a ethnic market specializing in Mexican and Asian products. It is amazing the parts of animals and different sea life, that they considered a delicacy. Surprisingly, some "scrap" animals parts, such as ox tails, sell at outrageous prices. Ox tails and pig feet used to be some of the "parts" that were given to the slaves, and were useless to everyone else. Now the sell at a premium. Like Brisket. I can buy top round to smoke cheaper than Brisket at most stores. And Ribeye steaks used to be the cheap steak with steak and eggs. Now seems to be higher than a good New York. For years, the best kept secret was 'country style ribs'. Now they cost a fortune. Safeway has them on $1.99 sale sometimes. |

That's what cracks me up. Both political philosophies, Left and Right, support "empowering people". In theory, the Right empowers by minimizing government interference. allowing people to aspire to whatever level of interest, business and financial success they desire, based on their individual level of motivation. The Left "empowers" by attempting to level the playing field, demanding equal or similar benefits, rewards and lifestyle for everyone by penalizing those with more than average ambition. I don't think that's accurate. I'm fairly left leaning due to the historically pitiful performance of the right and I just want fair/honest ground rules to minimize deception and help provide equal opportunity, *not* equal outcome. Externalization of costs onto the public while privatizing profits and crony capitalism run amuck has been a significant burden on average citizens with respect to energy, health, defense, and the environment. -- "Sarah, if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." -George H. W. Bush, spoken in an interview with Sarah McClendon, June 1992 |

There is no such thing as equal opportunity without equal outcome. It's typical economic pablum for simpletons for the reason that providing a means in which every one has a equal chance to achieve a goal is by definition special intervention which is anything other than "equal" because it results in an equal outcome by definition. How do you define "equal"? Do you provide an equal opportunity for a borderline mental competant to learn quantum physics? Do you divide by class structure? How is it done? Let's assume for the moment that you have a work force of people of whom 2/3's are 6 feet tall and 1/3 4 feet tall. Do you have to hire 1 1/3 four foot person for every 6 foot person you have to hire? Is that equal? Externalization of costs onto the public while privatizing profits and crony capitalism run amuck has been a significant burden on average citizens with respect to energy, health, defense, and the environment. And it's been that way since the beginning of time and will continue until time ends. It's endemic in all economic systems from the collective to the non-collective. Get over it and get used to it. |
