what people are trying to change "equal opportunity" into is "equality of result". That is what we need to protect ourselves against.
I was a HS drop out... until I decided that I wanted to accomplish more, I didn't. My parents never allowed me to 'blame others' for my failures so once I finally realized I had the power within me, success started. For me success was being able to just afford to go to school. I still define my success myself, rather than allowing what others have or accomplish define my success.
It all seems so simple to me that I struggle with why others 'dont' get it' re: personal responsiblity.
