Message: <blockquote data-quote="Werewolf" data-source="post: 1500730" data-attributes="member: 239">Really?So a 5' 5" guy who weighs 125 is the same as a 6'4" guy that weighs 220 and can do the 40 in 4 secs or so? I don't think so. One could be an NFL QB while the other would have no chance at all. Not equal.So someone with an IQ of 160 or so is the same as someone with an IQ of 80? One could be a rocket scientist or the CEO of a major corporation while the other is barely qualified to be a janitor or garbage man. Not equal.So a guy or gal with 20/10 eyesight and uncanny fast reflexes is equal to a guy who's born blind and can't walk without stumbling over his own feet. Really? One could be a fighter pilot the other no chance. Not created equal.Sorry guys but that whole created equal thing is pablum for the masses. Equal opportunity yes. Equal physical and mental abilities no. We're not all created equal. God made every one of us different. Different physically and mentally. And different by its very nature means NOT EQUAL. That's just the way it is. Some win the genetic  lottery some don't even buy a ticket.Fair? What's fair got to do with it. GOD hasn't issued any life will be fair certificates to us all as far as I know and he probably never will.And that's reality.To be sure, equal opportunity should be guaranteed to us all and GOD gave us the smarts and the wisdom to make that possible - but created equal. Please. Just ain't so and all the purty words and wishful thinking there has been or ever will be said or written won't change that simple fact of nature.Jefferson was a smart guy. He was a master wordsmith and an expert on human nature so he was either wrong (doubtful) or pandering to the masses (likely) when he said "all men are created equal", 'cuz it just ain't so.</blockquote>
