<snip for brevity> Of course the playing field isn't level. And from that standpoint I absolutely agree that no one should be asked to play a game where one player has different rules than another. It is the responsibility of our government to level that playing field but unfortunately our elected representatives no longer work for us but rather for their campaign contributors. And, last time I checked, the electorate was so dumbed down that they not only don't know any history (dooming them to repeat all of its worst lessons) but they keep on electing people based on jargon an slogans like "liberal" and "conservative" rather than demanding real content to speeches and promises. Every time I hear anyone calling the other by a label I just turn them off and mark them as morons. Political discourse without content is worthless. So as long as we keep electing these morons ... they do their best to represent those that voted them into office.
Sorry for the rant but ... you are correct ... and we have a choice. We can either force the political changes required to level that playing field or we can develop the skills required to succeed inspite of it.
