True. It was a rather condescending statement. My apologies to the Aunt Betsys, Uncle Georges, and any LDSs (among others) out there. >I use "equality of opportunity" with some trepidation. Does it mean that >if I decide to do something, that I will encounter only those obstacles >that everyone else does? Or does it also mean that I should have the >same degree of *belief* that I can succeed at that something? I tend to think of the first part of the above when I think of "equality of opportunity". If that is fulfilled then it is just a matter of time before the second part will be fulfilled as well. Jim Robinson
