This is a photo of a Grade 8 months r Grade 12 graduating class. Everyone in the photo is not necessarily still alive as the photo was taken 38 years ago. Many of the people in the photo have children who are 38 years old or older. This is the native of life. They all do. But, some of the people worked for the government. Some have never worked for the government. Some have attended Law School and graduated. Some have worked for their university in some job or another. Some have lectured. Some have worked for Swiss Chalet. Some have worked for Insurance companies owned by TD Bank. Essentially, they have worked for TD Bank. Some have Athlete of the Year awards. Some have awards for musical excellence related to their concert classical piano training at 13 years old. Some have football (soccer) medals in other countries. Some have played football (soccer) for their university. Some of them are not White. But, the point here is that if he was to end up dead now, how does it alter your sense of social authority? It wouldn't change anything. You are both equal. Maybe you don't so anything and you never did but you have a beard and long hair. Maybe you are just a Deacon in church and a bus driver. Maybe we are all deacons. Maybe you see now that when you are standing at the McDonald's counter, no one really cares who you are. You just ordered a Big Mac. Soz quit worrying about the black guy and social authority. Maybe you can apply to be a JP or a GO train worker and he will buy a ticket from you. Maybe you say it's a good ticket because you have the authority to decide. So, then we are equal.
