Morgue. Oh, and some online video games (to a certain degree; how much you spend on your computer components still gives you an edge, as well as being able to type coherently.) Richer/higher class people will not use a library or public transport - well, maybe some of the more eccentric upper class people will. But definitely not the social climbers. I wonder how many people with money have paid for private access to the heenie shot. There are rumours circulating of people/companies having private clinics, as well as the reported hockey teams up here.

Nah.. prisons definitely have social divisions. It's a matter of survival.

Most rich people don't touch Greyhound buses. And I have not taken a Greyhound bus in my life, and I'm never planning to.
Security gate at the airport.
Not a social equalizer. If one is rich enough, there's charter and/or private jet, no need for security gates.

Prison = jail?
Not in California if you are Paris Hilton. You get special treatment and your family has special visitation without having to wait in a 2-hour line.

Eh, I was thinking more along the lines of people with unpaid parking tickets being incarcerated along with muggers, etc. It was kind of a weak example.

nobody said orgy?
is foo losing it's edge?
so I was sitting out side of the court house a few days ago and there is a large ground level fountain. It is socially acceptable for children to play in. You see kids of various colors, locals, tourist whatever. playing in the water and smiling and laughing. It is just a bunch of kids having fun in water.
on that not, being a child is an equalizer. or having a motorcycle, when you are on a motorcycle you are a biker, that's it.

I guess I'm a poor person, since I use all of those things.
The other day my neighbor said, as I was hauling my trash cans up to the curb, "garbage day is the great social equalizer."
