While reading an article about China and its economic implications on the U.S., I had a thought. It was a thought that didn't really have anything to do with China per se, but more about all people in all countries. My thought was, what if we were all the same?
What if we were all one color, one shape, one size, one hair and eye color, one language, one religion, one philosophy? Would it be one huge utopia or one huge boring sphere of C-SPAN type commentary? What if the only differing element was education? Sure, let's mix it up a little. Okay, so we are all the same except for education. Education is still based on how education works now; family, circumstance, free-will, money, ambition. Okay, yeah (I'm thinking and typing at the same time, bear with me) the only differing factor is education.
So, would that cause trouble? Race, religion, looks would now be replaced with education and lack thereof causing wars and such, or would we simply find something else to make us want to kerplat those who we deem to be different, therefore inferior to us?

Would you end up with the dumb people attacking the smart people because the smart ones were able to get the better jobs, earn more money and buy better stuff while the dumb folk sit there with their proverbial finger up their nose?
Wow. You are deep. You are too intelligent for me. Closing my checkbook and going home.
Something would likely cause a rift, whether it be education or the part of town you were raised. Sadly I think we would still find shit to bicker about. Have a good weekend.
It is inherent in humans to catagorize. Decrease the differentiating factors between us to as low a number as you like, in this case one, and society will put you in your place.
This one was worth it just to see Jay comment on something other than TNF ;-)
Come, explore, join us. I'm sure you will fit in very well.
Once in a great while I do take my hand off of my dick long enough to write something intelligent. :)
Oh lord, can you imagine how much harder that would make my job when they started to catergorize by how many comma splices people used? Yesh!
Jay's correct - people will use completely arbitrary things to judge other people.
Are you a member of the Borg?
OMC: Sadly, probably.
Trapped: Damn! Once again my brain gets in the way, crap! My secret's out. Boobs, brains, and beauty. It's a curse, really.
Egan: I think bickering and infighting is inevitable.
Jay: I think you have a point. I think we always find something that makes us better or at least in our opinion seem better than the guy standing next to us
..and I do love it when you take a moment to leave your dick alone and tickle my brain.
P: Yes, I do miss him the other days of the week. He is such a tease. Then again, it takes one to know one.
Py: Shitty, yes, but probably true.
Bre: Ah, the comma splice. I know it well.
Angry: It's a secret society so I can't say.
