Without any repentance, be it clear and unambiguous that it the **only** form of equality which `WS` values is equality of the **applicability of laws** (i.e., "Rule of Law", or "Republicanism"). `WS` explicitly does **not** value equality of *opportunity* or equality of *outcome* as legislative goals. This shall not be construed in any way to prohibit **private sector** efforts to create equality of opportunity or equality of outcome within the **private sector** via private sector mechanisms. Government shall not pursue equality of opportunity or outcome in any area through law, bye-law or any form of policy. Without any repentance, be it clear and unambiguous that it the **only** form of equality which `WS` values is equality of the **applicability of laws** (aka, "Rule of Law", or "Republicanism"). `WS` explicitly does **not** value equality of *opportunity* or equality of *outcome* as legislative goals.

However, the gov't **shall** pursue equality of the enforcement of the laws on **all** conagents as this is the entire meaning of Republicanism - aka "The rule of law". Consequently, government may pursue equality of opportunity in **only** two areas: it may provide mechanisms and redistributive programs to ensure that private property enforcement through the police and courts is as easily accessible to the poor as to the rich. When an indepagent suffers a private property violation, the financial costs should not be a limiting factor in whether or not they decide pursue redress in court.
