Like no one ever was

  • He only wanted to be the very best.
  • I kind of feel bad for this bear.  He's clearly learned that if he waves, sometimes he gets food.  I felt really bad for him when about 45 seconds in, when they drive away a bit, and then stop again.  :(

  • She makes the important point in here: to many people, you have to justify the lack of equality (technically equality of outcome) by assuming that there must be an equality of opportunity.  Admitting that this isn't true means that some action actually needs to be taken. It's far easier to simply assume that everyone has the same set of opportunities, and if they don't succeed, it's because they've squandered that opportunity. Therefore, the lack of outcome equality is a natural result which punishes slackers.
