Greetings Brían,

I am of the impression that differentiating people by such measures as determining worth based upon ability is simply to assuage the guilt that comes from the exploitation of these people. In my mind the individuals that carry the rivets in the bucket are no less critical links in the chain of talents that culminates in a bridge then the individuals that engineered the project. After all with-out the talents and efforts of all we would be swimming, wouldn't we?

I also believe that those most downtrodden are the very folks that are more likely to openly express their true emotions. One need not be too concerned about losing stature by expressing contrary notions when one has little to lose to begin with.

Somewhere in the social evolution of man (species not gender) it became important for some men to have more than others. To me this is the fundamental flaw of our species.

I can only dream that one day I too will be graciously offered the lesson of turning the soil with less effort. Thank you for the prospective.

Peace,
Ed
