True. It was a rather condescending statement. My apologies to the
Aunt Betsys, Uncle Georges, and any LDSs (among others) out there.

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.
