"KØHB" wrote in message nk.net... "an_old_friend" wrote You are one of those elist folks that can't accept that are ONLy equal of the rest of us The "equality of all" is a naive myth which serves mainly to perpetuate mediocrity in the human race. "....that all men are created equal" makes a nice sound-bite but even the most casual examination of any random sample of humankind disproves it beyond any doubt. It always baffles me that free people buy into the notion of "democratic equality", because in fact the notions of "freedom" and "all are equal" are almost diametrically opposed. If I accept that I am your equal (and that you are mine) then I give up all freedom to be different from you, better than you, or worse than you. I simply WILL NOT give up that freedom, and therefore I reject the notion of "human equality". If you want to explore the results of real human equality, read Kurt Vonnegut's short story "Harrison Bergeron" at http://instruct.westvalley.edu/lafave/hb.html 73, de Hans, K0HB Great comeback Hans.
