Equality is cheap crack for the ignorant. true equality is something most oppose. most people spend their entire lifes attempting to achieve entry into an elite group where equality is the complete opposite of the ethics and morals of the group. your opinion... ?
You need to specify exactly what you mean. Usually when people talk about "equality" they mean equality of opportunity - not having a major advantage or disadvantage in life because you're of a certain ethnic group, gender, or whatever per se.
“All the citizens of a state cannot be equally powerful, but they may be equally free” “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” “The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.” “Men are born equal but they are also born different”
"Equality" is a very vague and vaporous term. Even a single individual may use it in several different ways in the span of just one day. If you intend to continue this discussion, you MUST specify precisely which facet of the word you intend to focus on.
Nah, crack for the ignorant are lottery tickets and gambling halls. It's like a tax on people who can't do math. Politically, socially, financially, and personally, people in the USA have still have their Bill of Rights, and all men are created equal according to at least to one particular document that embraces Lockean philosophy. Such equality is either your panacea or Pandora. Depends on how you view others and the world.
I do not treat people equally because people are NOT equal. I treat them fairly. I do not treat a priest the same way I would treat a drug dealer.
