I disagree. We are all unique, and therefore different, and therefore
unequal, practically speaking. Now, it was the intent of our Founding
Fathers (in the US) that we have equal rights. But equal rights does NOT
mean we're the same. Some of us are smarter, some of us are hansomer,
some of us work harder, some of us are more persistent. Equal rights
does NOT mean equal outcomes.
And that's as it should be.
