Of course I finished the story... it's been a while but I remember the "savage"
topping himself because he was unable to live in a world which is as structured
and conditioned as this.

These stories are not proclamations on ideal societies, however they are
depictions of how things would appear should there be a concerted effort to
socially engineer much of the populous. There's no denying it, life has changed
substantially over the last fifty years... we are heading down the path of
government decree.

Anyone who wishes to control the direction of humanity is not a person who
would consider him/herself equal to the masses. Unless there's a powerful AI in
charge of all human resource allocation, there will be inequality. Even in the
most egalitarian society, there will always be that 1% elite at the top of the
pyramid. Those in charge always have better lives than those they rule over.
