Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 19, 2012

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality.  As I see it, there are two philosophies of equality, one based on fear, and the other much more evolved.  The fear-based philosophy attempts forced conformity, because of a fear of those who think, speak and/or act differently than the ones in power.  (Note that this is relative, as it makes sense to "conform" to, at least, the laws that help with public safety).  The philosophy that I like is one of equal opportunity, especially to the extent that uniqueness is, at least tolerated, or (even better) embraced.
