Commonality

wanye (@xwanyex) / X

Really? I felt I had nearly nothing in common with my mother or father. There was hardly any ground we shared. Not absolutely nothing, of course. My dad liked computers and my mom liked reading horror books. Other than that, we were just about strangers in most respects.

Anyway, the Rawlsian veil in this sense was not what John Rawls was talking about and is not really applicable in this context.
