Equal access

[wmw999 2,589]

If someone has placed a trove of money at 7' off the ground, and the location is public, does everyone have equal access?

Obviously it's that person's right to put their money wherever they choose. But I'm not sure the government has that same right in quite as arbitrary a way. What is there that the government does that maybe there should be some ensuring that access really is fairly equal?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Sorry Wendy but to what are you refering?

Does anyone have a conversion for the monetary unit "trove"? I've always wondered

The "food deserts" thread got me started on thinking. That's always dangerous in a women

I've never been to a food desert. But I suppose if an entire region is just composed of food (including desserts), then we'd all have equal access to that food

provided it comes with a neat little toy

NO. It's called midget discrimination. Of course you could get around it by providing step ladders.

I think it's more equal opportunity than equal access.

And if the treasure trove is out of arm's reach of a significant number of people, but in reach of others, is there equal opportunity?

There's no way that there can be either equal opportunity or equal access to anything; people are too different from each other. But I think it's disingenuous to say that "it's there so they all had the same chance" when that's bullshit.

I don't have the same chance at a slot in the NBA ; someone who has never had a good role model doesn't have the same chance at figuring out how to lead a productive life; someone who is raised by morons who overfeed them doesn't have the same chance of being healthy, and someone who is raised by ignorant backwater bigots doesn't have the same opportunity to learn about people.

The worst thing is that they're all convinced that the way they were raised is perfectly OK, because after all -- look how they turned out .
