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= ion that "all men are CREATED equal". We all have different physical attribu= tes, different levels of intelligence, different native skills and abilities, = etc., etc., etc. Clearly we are NOT created equal. As an example, you may hav= e a great sense of pitch and rythm along with a good voice, so might become a= famous singer. I on the other hand, can't carry a tune in a tow sack. Clear t= o all but deaf observers, we are NOT equal. The same analogy can be applied to= any human attribute you wish to examine, yet politicians (even though they do= n't 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" at http://instruct.westvalley.edu/lafave/hb.html 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 =20 Beep beep de Hans, K0HB |
