For every Ben Carson or Eartha Kitt there are probably 100 like my friend John. Children whose health, family issues, or poverty impeded their success.I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. are you saying he had his brain removed?My friend John. He got sick as a child and had to have major surgery which it turned out he didn't need. He missed a year of school and never caught up.name oneAgreed, equal opportunity does not mean equal results. I also agree that "fair" means an equal opportunity to succeed. You can throw out plenty of people anecdotes but there are many more of people that fail due conditions beyond their control.Just don't tell the race is fair if some get to start the race at the finish line.
Where is it written that everything in life must be "fair"? all that is guaranteed is an equal opportunity to succeed. Yes, the road is much harder for some than others, Ask Ben Carson about coming from nothing to being very successful. Or you could ask Earth Kitt, conceived by rape, forced to live in the crawl space with the dogs, shunned by her family, but worked hard and achieved much success and fame.
Equal opportunity does not mean equal results.
