simple Bull**** Hans equality in rights does not mean

You have that part right --- equality in rights is a fine thing, and we a=

agree with it.


obvioulsy not Hans or I guess you haven't been reading Dan lately, he
has been dening I have the same rights as Him. In addition Steve, Dee,
Dave Heil, even most recently some one neamed "ace" and others making
claims based on various nonsense that I don't have the same rights as
they do

But I wasn't talking about "rights". I was talking about the flawed not=

practice it themselves) still feed the masses this "created equal" myth, =

and the
masses still buy into it.


If you want to explore the results of real human equality,
read Kurt Vonnegut's short story "Harrison Bergeron"

why since the line of "Reasoning" is GIGO


I recommended it because KV does a much better job than I in illustrating=

the
issue.

well in this case itis not the issue I am interested in, so it would
still be GIGO, just for different reason
