Bringing it back to the original discussion, most of this thread is people hating on the idea that there are exceptional individuals who change the world. The dominant ideology in San Francisco is that everyone is totally equal in all aspects except for systemic discrimination which is the polar opposite of that. It has gone so far down the slippery slope in that direction that absurd things are starting to happen. The opposite of the Great Man Theory is the Everyone is Great Theory in essence and that latter belief has caused all sorts of havoc when put into practice. We need to readjust the balance so that we recognize that there are bad people out there who are not great who don't belong walking around in public and free to do as they please.
