Equality and Second Life

There has been much talk of what goes on in Second Life (SL), such as gambling -which incidentally is now banned according to this mornings Swedish newspaper, dancing, shopping, chatting, biking, flying, virtual sex. Anything is possible in SL. However what is not talked so much about is the concept of SL gives equality for all residents regardless of race, creed, gender, age, size or disability. Hence we have the potential of equality there. For example nobody need know you are unable to walk in the physical world because in the virtual world you can, everyone can!

If we take away the name 'Second Life' which automatically conquers up imagines in our minds influenced by what we have been reading in the press, and just ponder on the 'concept' alone. The possibilities are interesting and exciting. Take a look at an article out May this year.
