I've become more liberal.

I know Dantilla. Great guy. I've met Jeffl Higgins. Another great guy, I think. What appears at this time to be a huge difference, a great ideological chasm between us......is not as real as most of you think. I agree with Dan that outcomes should not (are not) guaranteed. Equal opportunity does not mean equal outcome, I agree. And I don't have an inclination to try to guarantee outcomes. Or to infringe on anybody's freedom. But I do wish to give everyone the best starting point we can.

Just a simple example. This weekend with my daughter, I watched a show about several young people suffering from Tourette's Syndrome. I wished all of them success, but especially one. There was a young fellow who seemed to be a nice guy, but was having a great deal of trouble achieving his goals. He wants to find a good woman and make his way in the world. He wants to do things and accomplish things and test the high potential he knows he has. But the Tourettes gets in the way. I want him to be free from that, because I felt sure he is one of those folks who, the further he can go, the better off a bunch of other people are.

There are lots of people who do not have Tourettes and who some of you think have just the same opportunities as everyone else and you are wrong. Some do not.
