Equality and What's on!

Equality was the topic of the day - I think this topic is bigger than big and actually the root of a great many illogical happenings in our world.  Here is how the thread came together from the news of the week...

• Marriage equality - in the shape of the Irish vote for same sex marriage.
• Relationship equality in the shape of the terrifying rise of awareness around domestic abuse.
• Abuse of power is a lack of respect for the equality of all human beings - this can encompass the abuse by adults of children as seen in the investigations into the abuse of children in the Catholic church and other organisations.
• Abuse of power and a flagrant disregard to equality has been seen in the unfolding FIFA corruption allegations.
