What society would you say is the most "equal"
And by "equal" do you mean bringing the standards down to a level that slackers and people who are just plain out lazy can attain?
Or do you mean a society that pushes people to succeed?
If you think about it...that's really the 2 differing arguments in Western Society:
Do you create "equality" by making everybody average...or do you demand excellence (which is not so good for people who don't have the ability or desire to attain it)?
