As an ethics question the answer seems to be that we should design society in a fashion that we would had we not know if we would be born limbless or the privilaged limbed. As far as the political aspects, I have no idea.

We should "design society"? Wow! Whose job is it to "design society"?

[/ QUOTE ]If you are an ACist please let me know so I won't waste my time. I made if perfectly clear that I was speaking from an ethical perspective and not a political one.

I assume you didn't really mean that society should be "designed". And I was being a smarta$$.

I'm not an ACist. I'm a Libertarian. I beleive it is the function of gov't to protect its citizens from coersion and fraud, but not to use offensive force against people for the purpose of improving society.
