I Had A Dream …

 

We have all, I am sure, seen examples of a meme, the original created by Craig somebody, that illustrates wonderfully that equality isn’t always a solution. There is, as in this above meme, a need for “equity” or justice. Equality ensures all 3 kids get an equal sized box however even with that help the smallest kid still cannot see the ball game. “Equity”, sometimes blurred into justice, is not a fair solution by any means. It takes from the tallest and gives to the smallest. All can now see the game which appears just but is it truly?

I want to look instead beyond the wall, into the stadium. 

In the stadium we see two teams playing against each other. The managers, coaches, and ump. They are focused primarily only on the game that they are currently playing and little else.

Who else is present?

Well, you have those who are invited. The VIPs. Local officials and celebrities. They sit at cloth covered tables adorned with charcuterie boards, Hors d'oeuvres , and Champaign. They hob nob with those that could afford tickets, the wealthy, the elite…the one-percenters.

Also in the stadium are the team support members,
