Creation Does Not Guarantee Equality
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
Jesus Christ, that's a high bar. I mean, first, the whole "endowed by their Creator" hits the religion thing pretty hard on the nose. For this post, let's just assume that in spite of their vast knowledge of the Magna Carta and the enormously well read nature of our Founding Fathers, they were still sort of a bizarre group of highly superstitious religious types, admit the flaw and move on, OK?
It's that almost comical statement that "all men are created equal." Ignore the fact that they only meant men and only white men and only rich white men. Let's take the phrase as we interpret it today. That WE ARE ALL CREATED EQUAL.
I hate to break it to you but that's complete horseshit.
How do you want to be defined? By one action? By some opinion that could evolve? By a mistake, regrettable only with hindsight? Or by the sum of your parts? Okay, do that for other people. Start the trend.
