That's a worthwhile point, as you're right, not everyone can avail
themselves of the opportunities our country makes available. But, because
not everyone has an equal IQ, or geographic advantage, or just plain lucky
shot at this or that, I don't think that means that we should shut down
opportunity in every way, shape, or form because it's not "fair"
that someone's good idea can make same someone a few bucks, while someone
else's idea flops.

If you opt to shut down economic opportunity for any reason, you play into
the hands of the Islamo-Fascists that wish you to live in a false world of
centuries ago.

I didn't mean to, nor want to be cast as derisive of your or anyone elses
religion, but I feel giving any quarter to the idea of casting off our way
of life in favor of those same false prophets is a road to our ruin, and
the ruin of mankind in general
