I'm a 55 year old white guy, so I'll probably be okay. It's cold comfort, but at least I know I didn't contribute to the problem.
Not contributing is not enough it seems.
I didn't contribute to the left wing's
problems. For a long time I've been more than willing to point these problems out, but I've usually been shouted down. I would've like to have used my education to be able to positively contribute to my ideals. The ideal organization is the ACLU, despite their low pay, but I'm the wrong gender, horribly white, and I like women.
Prior to passing the bar, I wrote appellate briefs as a law clerk in complex civil matters. I could've done a good job just doing that for the ACLU or any similar organization, but again, there's not a chance in the world they'd have me.
Equal opportunity is important. Equality is vital to a healthy society, but universities and even community colleges are more concerned about diversity than quality. What I'd really like to do is teach basic Constitutional law at the college level. I'd be good at it. But again, there's no place for me there.
Whatever. It's the young people's problem now. I'll keep posting as a way of coping and venting, but it won't matter.
I suppose that in the future you can guide us through the inevitable oligarchy the U.S. can become.
