And all I can say is, 'what the heck's up with the search engine here?' I can't believe I missed a whole thread where I existed in a village of like minded mud-hut dwellers. An alterative universe entirely to my liking and I totally missed it.
Looking over the last 15 posts or so, it occurs to me that no, opportunity does not have to be statistically equal to all in order to be of advantage to everyone. However, that might also be the crux of the issue: the further the balance of power and wealth shifts to a smaller number of hands, the less natural flow of opportunity there is. Whether or not to provide opportunity becomes a matter for the wealthy to decide, much like a man with a bulldozer may not control where the rain will fall, but he can decide where the river will flow.
