People are not meant to have "the same" results. That actually would be really UNFAIR... Actually Bud.. I totally agree with you on that .. as in *COMPLETELY* I do not believe in equality of outcomes.. that is a farce .. all humans are NOT created equal .. they should have equal rights and opportunity .. That is all.. That is why I am a hand UP guy.. NOT a hand OUT guy .. You know OTOH.. I was at the local grocery store this AM after my Harley spin.. a down and out guy came in with two water jugs (the 5 gallon ones) .. Store said no ,, we do not carry them.. in the end store manager physically assaulted the guy .. someone at my medium stature I could have floored with ease .. It would have cost them maybe 5 bucks ... There is so little humanity in the world

You know little and underestimate the power of the human spirit. You are full of liberal horseshit. And you know nothing about me. Blessed? You make me laugh. My father lost everything when I was 16 years old. He was a gambler. My family had no money with no government assistance. What did I do? I got a job working for Harry M Stevens as a vendor working at Madison Square Garden and Shea Stadium earning $550 a week, working every night while I maintained an A+ average in School. I received scholarships and had 60K in the bank when I was 18 years old. So, don't give me your fuckin liberal horseshit about being blessed or privileged because I was far from that state. And yes, everyone has the same opportunity in USA. It is all a question of work ethic and drive.
