There’s been a lot of talk over Martin Luther King day about equality. While we may be unable to really define what we mean by equality fully, I think we all have a sense that some situations are more equal than other. My personal belief is that, outside of a Ayn Rand fans, most people actually think equality is something to aim for. Where I think we disagree is over the question of force to bring it about and the question of what is the best way to actually improve the equality of our nation.
In the BCC discussion one thing I pointed out is that many on all sides tend to adopt rather superficial approaches to the problem. It is one thing to raise awareness about inequality. Yet it is quite an other to actually successfully change the situation.
So how do we change things?
So my ward, like probably most of yours, had our ward Halloween party this week. Likewise my ward, like I suspect most of yours, had a no-mask rule in effect. This caused some challenge for us as our son had an off the shelf Optimus Prime costume. And let’s be honest. The mask is a lot of it. We got creative and painted something like an Optimus Prime face on him. He was happy as could be and didn’t mind.
