Off for my final scan, but this is a placeholder to remind me to wax verbose about how I think that privilege is made up of good things whose distribution is unfair, but how the reason it's called "privilege" is because it's made up of stuff that we all should have. And stuff.

Okay, gotta go get my inner self photographed now. Buh-bye!

hmmm. i posted recently about privilege and how it often is the absence of bad things rather than the presence of good things. at least that's the way that i think it operates in our society when one is having a discourse about some sort of "ism."

Something I keep coming back to, is how "unfair" it seems that the people who lay these roads, tilled these fields, built these cities, had such a harder time of it than we do who benefit from their toil. At the same time, the inequity they created by running off the original owners, that's something we get to inherit, and that's unfair too.
