Angus: " .... equity cannot be purchased at the expense of abandoning the reward of merit because equity is a concept of relationship requiring people who have dedicated their working hours to being able to reach agreement on when it exists in their relationship, and I cannot see that dedication being initiated except in a structure that values merit by some criteria to which the community/organization/partnership is committed."

Wow! I have been reviewing that ending to a statement I made about a month ago, and I confess: it has given its author, me, a headache! So I must anticipate it will have been, out of necessary mental self-defence, allowed to whoosh off into outer space by others!

But I still feel its rationality in the context in which it appeared. That context brings to mind that recognition of merit is all very well as a social contract, but if merit does not include recognition of effort/success in reaching agreement with outsiders, the society dooms itself because conflicts will mount with outsiders. what's this
