So if everyone were clones that would not be enough equality for you?

How would you go about your further goals in this clone society? Constant monitoring of citizens, tracking their lives, measuring disparities in the short and long term and either awarding or punishing certain activities at certain times by certain people to make sure everything is equal to everyone?

Seriously, what do you mean by equality that the ability to choose one's genes wouldn't fix?

Haha. I sensed this thread starting to take a turn towards nutcase-ville... aaaand here we are. If you really believe that there is absolutely no daylight between a) lessening pervasive, endemic inequality that exists the status quo and b) "1984 with clones", well, that says a lot about you and your world view. #ocra
