[MD] Unreality of Equality

[David M]

yet given our current knowledge we should be
feeding, sheltering, educating all and working out
how to enhance the environment and plan how we
might move on from this place when it is worn out, etc.
We could easily do all this and we do nothing. Can't
help thinking that holding inequality in such high esteem
is the problem, so we allow the wealthy to increase their
wealth by a mountain of lies.
