Equal chances?

摘要

Your editorial on inequality refers to the concept of equality of opportunity (28 July, p 3), which I would greatly welcome, so long as it is universally applied. Those who say there is no such thing as equality often dismiss it as a myth, citing as proof the fact that we cannot all run 100 metres as fast as Usain Bolt. Of course we can't, but in any race, we should all get the chance to be on the same starting line.
