Also, it seems to Miss Mussel that a totalitarian social contract is the only honest one. At least you know what you're getting into up front.....there is no illusion of choice dangled like a phony carrot. Is anything true if it is relative?

Essentially, it's the apples and oranges debate. And, also...when people are brought into the mix, how boring would it be to have everyone be the same? In this sense, inequality seems like the better solution.
