People accuse men of favoring beautiful women over ugly ones and
women of favoring rich men over poor ones.

That may very well be true. It is also correct. A wealthy man has
what is needed to provide a woman's children with a good childhood
and give them advantages in society, and a beautiful woman has
good genes to give her children and likewise to give them
advantages. This has nothing to do with selfishness or
shallowness, but rather with concern for the well-being of the
life one chooses to bring into the world. Which is the most
ethical, most compassionate and most loving motivation that one
can have.

Part Two is that I find it much easier to get along in America
with beautiful women than with ugly ones. Ugly women in America,
like men raised in America's lower classes, tend to have an
attitude that the world owes them, and they become vicious,
abusive and destructive. Especially toward beautiful women and the
men who rightly love them.

Now to be fair, ugly women do not have a monopoly on women's
contribution to the world's evil. Evelyn Ruut of
talk.religion.buddhism, though she is apparently good-looking, has
told a girl who had been through her childhood abused by her
sisters that she had brought it upon herself. This set of beliefs
? that one makes and deserves everything in one's life - as I have
stated repeatedly, is based in privilege, smugness and
heartlessness and lets the person appropriate for herself the
credit for a civilization that she inhabits ? a civilization
created by the blood, brawn and brains of millions of her betters.
A spectacular civilization in which an average person, himself no
better than a Medieval peasant or a Hindu untouchable or a ghetto
thug or an Afghan opium farmer, can live an easy life by standing
on the shoulders of millions of his betters who have braved
hardship and danger and applied effort, intelligence and courage
to create this civilization of which she is a part. To stand on
the shoulders of millions of one's betters is in no way a sin;
they intended for you to do so. But to appropriate for yourself
the credit for your privileged status is monstrously wrong.
And to look down from that position upon people who do not have
shoulders to stand on is still more despicable.

The people I choose to have in my life are people who have
compassion, vision, caring, goodwill and wisdom. The people I
choose to have in my life are people who seek to do good in every
way possible and seek out opportunities to do good. The people I
choose to have in my life are people with interest in improving
the lot of humanity and making the world we live in an improvement
on nature and not a degradation. These are the people I choose to
have around me, and these are the people whose equal I choose to
work to become.
