David,
I completely agree with what you said. Yes, everybody should have equal opportunities to achieve what they want-they should be given that chance. But as we know, that is not reality. Infact the poor should be given many more advantages such as good medical/health care etc, cause they cannot afford it. In the third world countreis, such as India, about 65%(or perhaps even a little more) of the people are well below the poverty line. They really suffer greatly, they have nothing-literally nothing-no clothes, no food, no place to sleep, just nothing. Then you see these rich wealthy people drive by in theor fancy cars, and you wonder, if they have any feelings or ever think about what if they became like the poor. It makes me so sad. Inequality can be so evil. Everyone should be given equal rights and treated the same way.
