Well I supose that's what it boils down to, whether you are man or sheep. I may be overly optimistic about the capacities of others. I truly believe that with the proper drive, strategies, and resources anyone can do or be anything.
I also believe the internet will be the great equalizer in the future for those with great educational and economic disparity.
Indeed those who once lacked the resources but have the potential and drive will get a fair shot. And those who had the resources but not the drive will fall into their proper place on the evolutionary chart on the bottom.
