Equal Opportunity? Or Super Equal?

Remember those "good old days" when a wealthy Alumni was called out
for trading a ticket to an upcoming game to an Officer of the Law for
a speeding ticket? That lesson was taken to heart by many of such
cheaters children. In turn they began to think of themselves as
"Privileged", and their children began to feel "Super Privileged".
There have been those on this list who, from time to time declare that
America is the Land of Equal Opportunity. But according to recent
investigations, this is not even true for the very wealthy Americans.
Imagine having shelled out over $6 million in fees and bribes to
enroll your"super privileged" very special child in a prestigious
college, only to learn that another wealthy parent paid around $500
thousand for the same service. One lesson we learn, there is not even
equal opportunity to cheat. There's no way anyone on this list could
buy entrance into any school...except maybe the Beauty College, for
their children.
Of course, the parents and school officials are not yet brought before
a judge or jury, and so these are still "alleged"crimes. And speaking
of equal opportunity, imagine the court costs involved in bringing
these alleged criminals to justice. Our little $6,000 cost incurred
through our efforts to have our neighbor lower his Beaver Dam, prior
to ever going before a judge, drove home to us that Justice is not
equal. No how, no way.
