Hi Dan
I get your drift. The allocation of resources
is tricky business. In fact my concern would be
less with respect to inequality within our technological
societies than with making it possible for people to do things
to explore their lives and not be too obsessed with commerce
and materialism, such as taking off on a bike trip. Wealthy
kids seem to get lots of chances to play at life, poor kids
have far fewer choices.
regards
David M
