Better 'n you

Would you agree or disagree with the following statement:

‘Many of the problem with society these days are due to the fact that people no longer respect their betters.’

Before you go off on a tear, try to understand that our entire society is based on the disturbing premise that some people are ‘better’ than others.

If you (amazingly) agree with this statement, how would you quantify a ‘better’?

Are their ‘superior’ qualities due to their education, their breeding or a combination of both?

If you have two brain cells that touch one another, the above statement should set your teeth on edge! Who the heck is anybody to think that they are ‘better’ than anyone else?

Yet these value judgements are made every day, all day.

The ‘pecking order’ within our society is determined by these same dubious distinctions.

Since our society is the sum of its parts, any claim that one part is somehow ‘more valuable’ than any other just don’t hold water, yet our ‘betters’ seem to think otherwise.

It’s why they get paid the big bucks!

Somehow the idea of ‘better than you’ being equal to ‘richer than you’ doesn’t seem to fly.

While it’s true that we are not all intellectual equals, many of those that are looked down upon as ‘grunts’ are the only ones that possess the knowledge vital to keeping the lights on and the production lines humming.

It’s a sad statement to make about any society when the only thing that separates the knowledgeable worker from their clueless boss is a piece of sheepskin.

So, who is better ‘n you?

While it can truly be said that we are the author’s of our own destiny, do not delude yourself for a moment that this is a journey that you undertake by yourself.

In a society where a degree could more accurately be described as a pedigree, a stumbling block set up to keep the ‘lowlifes’ in their place, we must recognize such tactics for the lies they are.

These artificial barriers to universal prosperity must not be allowed to stand. If humanity is ever to rise above the level of preying upon one another for personal financial gain, we as a society must permanently level the playing field.

The first step toward leveling the playing field is placing the law beyond the reach of any individual or group that is smaller than our whole society.

The second step is to outlaw anyone from exploiting anyone else for personal gain.

The only way for a society to succeed is for all of its members to pull together as a team, reaping the rewards and sharing the pain equally.

Let no individual set themselves above any other. Even those who lead will have no power over the law. Anyone that abuses a position of authority for any reason will have the benefits of society withdrawn from them.

It takes every one of us to make the world what it is. For that reason alone we are all entitled to our fair share of what society has to offer.

No human is a rock, nor an island. We shall sink or swim as one or we shall become extinct, thanks to the ‘leadership’ provided by our ‘betters’.

Deny the lie! Refuse to be marginalized!

Thanks for letting me inside your head,
