Equality is a many splendored ideal. It has a nice ring to it, as might the Liberty Bell. The bell, last I heard, has one big crack in it. Egalitarianism has a shitload of smaller ones.
Among cracked liberties, equality is sometimes seen as equal status granted people who are incompetent, to the annoyance of people who know what they're doing and can find their ass in the dark. At least in the area of invention, few people are equal to Edison or Tesla. Both Prince and Hendrix played guitar a great deal better than I do. What if Jonas Salk's vaccine had been passed over for reasons of affirmative action?
Forced equality can have a stunting effect on progress. Great leaders aren't selected like cans of Campbell's soup. Equality means equally dim. People, through their rosy hipster glasses, may view it as a good thing that opportunities are granted to poor hopeful jerks. And it can, in a whole other frame, mean that men and women are about equally perverse and despicable. I'm dreaming of Gina Haspel.
She's probably the new head of the C.I.A., soon enough the lass will get a bouquet of roses, a gold diamond studded cattle prod, and a tiara. Here she comes walking the runway, blowing kisses to tyrants and sadists everywhere. Wealthy, infuriating ones. She has a face like any of many black widows on Forensic Files. If she wasn't committed to a lucrative, fulfilling career in 'rendering,' torture, mind fucking and Christ knows what fucking else, she would be poisoning her eighth or ninth spouse by now to collect the insurance. She's a creep. A sadist. Men are known to be sadistic criminal scumbags. Lesser known, yet painfully true, women can be filthy perverts, too. I wish that didn't rhyme.
It's been policy here for the last I don't know how long to not get too fucking upset about all the disturbing political crap that is going on. I'm not. It helps, in a pestilential little way, to know that men and women have achieved equal status. Equally dreadful. I want to air my theory that Gina was appointed expressly to scare the living shit out of potential terrorists. Trump made a televised speech insisting that, contrary to popular humanism, torture works great for getting info and or squelching enemy activities. Who the fuck knows, our new CIA personage may scare school kids out of doing their little mass homicides. The new appointment may even be a first step to dismantling the spy organization. She's a scorpion. She might kill all her bunk mates. This whole fucking thing might be fun. But on the return trip to reason, this is some scary shit. She's a sadist.
