What ONE thing EQUALIZES us more than ANYTHING?
IF you say education, does the government have an interest in providing it? If you think I'm talking about making everybody equal, your sand box is calling you.

IF you say education, does the government have an interest in providing it? No. The left monopolized academia and began indoctrinating rather than teaching. That's why we aren't even close to first in the world concerning education. We've now raised a generation of ignorance. Side: A GOOD education
Hello bront: When I was in the 4th grade, I learned about the Bill of Rights.. My teacher didn't indoctrinate me.. All she made me do, is READ them.. They're short and don't use big words.. Even a 4th grader could understand them.. And, I did. If you read them, and understood them, and more importantly EMBRACED them, you couldn't HELP but BE a liberal.. excon Side: You CAN'T equalize people

Sickness. And I don't mean treatment thereof. Because clearly access to shelter and clean conditions and resources all help to prolong and improve life. I mean simply coming down with sickness. The flu kicks pretty much everyone's butt if they get it. And even the rich still get cancer. When pandemics happen they are humbling and equalizing. They remind all people that no matter how rich or powerful they might be they can still get knocked on their arse. This is an absurd and extreme example but if you take the basic flesh eating zombie horror movie plot you basically have people from every walk of life trying to escape the calamity but getting caught up in it anyway, and then the rising human tide of zombies ends up a true melting pot of every kind of person in society all racing after the living to eat their brains. A handful may hold out with better resources but in the end pretty much everyone gets equalized. Sickness puts us all in our place no matter who we think we're supposed to be.

Death would be another extreme example to go with sickness. In you example of pandemics, the two go hand in hand. You can get lucky and avoid death from time to time like the guy who cut his arm off after a boulder trapped him. In the end, Father Time is undefeated and Death is his Defensive Coordinator.

In the same vein as sickness and death, I submit that unrequited love equalizes all people. Loving those who do not love us back makes us all equally poor regardless of our possessions, equally foolish regardless of our experience, equally stupid regardless of our education, equally miserable regardless of our other circumstances.
