EQUALITY STANDARD: One of three basic income distribution standards (the other two are contributive standard and needs standard). The equality standard distributes income equally to every person in society. Everyone--every man, woman, and child--would, in other words, receive exactly the same, per capita income--no more, no less. If, for example, total income earned by 270 million people in the United States is $7 trillion, then every person would receive $25,925.9 each--no more, no less.

BEIGE MUNDORTLE
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who could be mistaken for a piece of furniture or perhaps a rock. Family and friends do not associate with you if they have anything more interesting to do, like watching televised infomercials. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time looking for the new strip mall out on the highway wanting to buy either a box of multi-colored, plastic paper clips or several orange mixing bowls. Be on the lookout for vindictive digital clocks with revenge on their minds. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter I, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 306040. Your preferred shopping venue is discount super centers. Your special symbol is the period (.).
Is this You?
As a Beige Mundortle, you are somewhat dull, somewhat boring, somewhat lusterless. You don't particularly care and you don't really care that you don't care. You know that you have a somewhat drab, lackluster life, and that's just fine with you. You shop when you need to, buy what you have to, and get on with your life. It's just another day, another expenditure. You don't really care to spend a lot of time shopping, but you don't really care to spend a lot of time doing much of anything. Life goes on. So what? Who cares?
This isn't me! What am I?

The Odds On GAMBLINGI'm sure there's a great philosopher somewhere who once uttered the words, "Life's a contradiction and we're all a bunch of hypocrites." Take me for example. Just this morning I walked by Smilin' Ted's All-Comers Insurance Agency to drop off my annual shoe insurance premium (for protection against blowouts), then made a pit stop at Master Sprocket's convenience store where I plopped down five dollars on five (count 'em, five) Super Luck-O Multi-State Lottery tickets. Within a space of two blocks and twenty minutes I bought $37.56 worth of shoe insurance to avoid risk and then spent another $5 to take on some risk. Am I a walking contradiction, or what?
