[Xmca-l] Re: Do we find Inequalities in wild life system?

[Andy Blunden]

I can't agree that with your suggestion, Huw, that 
inequality (in the meaning with which Harshad used it) is 
something subjective, in the eye of the beholder. Such a 
view would be very pernicious politically. The fact is that 
states have emerged and developed over many centuries so as 
to makes objective certain concepts of justice, among which 
are various qualified and nuances notions of equality. This 
is not  figment of my imagination.
