[QUOTE="Socrates, post: 1199833, member: 36964"] And many pro athletes don't come from families where neither parent played any sport, ever. What's your point? If you expand your (baseless) anecdote back a few generations, does it still hold up? My parents were poor, and now I'm a UPS Driver. With any luck, I'll marry a similarly high-earning Woman, we'll have children, and our kids will grow up in a household making $140k/year (about 7x higher than what I grew up with), living in a half million dollar house, going to quality schools. I won't die a millionaire, but with some luck and a whole lot of hard work, my kids will have a very strong shot at it, and that's all I really care about. Not everybody can be the Slumdog Millionaire. And the lack of SMs doesn't mean that society is utterly broken and untenable and in need of immediate sweeping changes. [/QUOTE]
