I almost made a statement about that, too and I often think / wonder
about that. The concept of everyone is equal doesn't work. Communism
proves that and the current system in the USA is proving that, in a
different manner. Lets face it, everyone is not equal.

Not equal in performance, of course. But everyone is equal in value.
Everyone has (or is supposed to have) equal _FREEDOM_ to pursue happiness
on his or her own terms.

Everyone has an equal right to Life
Everyone has an equal right to Liberty
Everyone has an equal right to be secure in their person and possessions.

The United States is the first place to have actually codified those
rights, in order to protect them from coercive, intrusive, rapacious
governemnt.

But nobody has a right to be paid from the fruits of another's labor,
which is what the socialists/communists think that "peple are equal"
means. It doesn't mean everybody should be the same.

And, for the record, the neocons and nazis want everybody the same, just
like the socialists and communists - The two wings aren't actually all
that different: in fact, nazi is the acronym for "national socialists" in
German.

The left wing wants to take away your money and give it to poor people,
while distracting you with sex and drugs.

The right wing wants to take away your money and give it to rich people,
while distracting you with wars and toys and religion and outright
oppression.

I guess the left wing tries to do their own version of oppression with all
that "political correctness" crap.

But it's like asking, "Would you rather be hanged or shot?" As for me,
give me Liberty or give me Death.
