-Caveat Lector-
We were not discussing the WORD equitable, until I had to explain to you
carefully that the word was not synonymous with Equal. (that's why we have 2
different words.)
We were discussing behaviors of the state - and its responsibility.
It is not JUST or FAIR (equitable) that a greater burden is placed on those
who can least shoulder it, while those who can best do so, use their
resources to ensure they do not have to, while the same resources could be
used more EQUITABLY, especially in the name of some fictional SAMENESS
(equality), that is really just a cover for lack of compassion for the
other, or the society they are riding atop.
Compassion for others is one of the few legitimate uses of government I can
imagine.
We can do better that coldhearted slavery to the bottom line - as a nation,
as individuals, and as humanity.
Equal is not equitable.

I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me
to tremble for the safety of my country.... corporations have been
enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money
power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the
prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and
the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety
of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
