True Left

""A child can see how to fix the inequities of this planet!""

When as a child I was first taught about "non-whites" eventually getting to vote, supposedly for the sake of "equality", I immediately asked: if equality were indeed the goal, why "whites" did not have their franchise suspended for the same number of elections as "non-whites" had previously had their franchise denied? The idiot teacher said: "Two wrongs don't make a right." I argued that if A and B were running a marathon but A got accomplices to stop B from running for the first hour, the correct remedy was to stop A for an hour while letting B run, not to just let the marathon continue with B allowed to run but A allowed to keep the head start.

But I digress.....
