“Freedom for all does not necessarily include justice or equality for all. So when we come into this world with unequal brains or environments or opportunities, it is incumbent upon a government to do the best job it can in overcoming those handicaps.  There are those who will decry government for crimping their style.  I say fie on them and to fight for that kind of government to provide that level playing field where all can thrive.  For those who still rise to the top and become movers and shakers, I say hooray and continue the fight for others’ freedom to enjoy justice and equality.”
