  • …I think it’s possible, but…utterly impossible.

    So you don’t think it’s possible? Have you tried to do something, and have come to that conclusion because no matter what you do, nothing seems to be changing?

    I’m not focusing on you specifically, but why people say things are “impossible “ and then you ask what, if anything, they’ve done, people will say nothing (or won’t even vote!).

    You don’t need to devote your life to something you want to change…an hour or two a week. Join an advocacy group. Go to a town hall meeting. Call your congressman. If time is something you really have ZERO of, then donate so that other people can spend more time working the change you want to see happen.

    “It’s impossible to change anything, so I’m not even gonna try”. Again, not saying this is you. I hear this “argument” so friggin often. It’s like people try and subconsciously excuse their own inaction and apathy.

  • Not disagreeing with you; how do you suggest a way for admissions to reliably compare applicants with each other? A 3.5 at one school can mean something completely different than a 3.5 at another school.

    Something like the SAT is far from perfect, but it is a way one number that means the same thing across applicants.

  • If you get to this point it’s far too late.

    Generally though if you suspect your opponent is going to be using the guillotine, you want to try and either reduce inequality or increase security.
