There you go Baron, conflating equality with sameness.
Just because I consider myself your equal I don't expect you to develop gynecomastia.
Who me? You mean disagreements with those who claim that humans are not equal? You act like you've never disagreed with anybody. Just because I disagree with a few things with a few people doesn't mean that humans are not equal, and that elitism is no good.Interesting view, Luke. And if you really believe that, then why do you have so many disagreements with others on this site? And worse, why are continually telling those others that they're ignorant or stupid, while holding yourself out to be soooooo much smarter?
Do you believe in equal equality, SAM?
equality for everyone.
as the saying goes:
god may have created all men,
but mr. Colt made them all equal.
Work toward it? How? If it's so unworkable, what can one do to "work toward it"?

Of course we aren't equal. Anyone with eyes or a brain can see that. Some are taller, smarter, stronger, faster, whatever. But we should be treated as equal before the law because that is the only fair system. Let each rise or fall according to his merit, the government should be neutral. That's what equality before the law is all about.
“All the citizens of a state cannot be equally powerful, but they may be equally free” ..Voltaire
“Woman once made equal to man becomes his superior” ..Socrates
Equality before the law is possible, enforceable, and a very good idea.
