Seriously, this statement shows a failure to understand the basic premise that "equality" has nothing to do with a man's abilities, rather it is a recognition of our INabilities. <snip>


The premise you offer begs to create an aristocracy of the so-called learned class.

No thanks.

Mac,

Much of what I'm saying here is for the sake of portraying the various points of view on the subject. I have yet to state my own. I agree with what you say here. Thanks for your input. I wanted somebody to say out loud that EQUALITY is not equality of human ability, as some would suggest.



However, the fact remains that lots of people DO interpret it in the very way you just rejected it. Part of what I hope this discussion accomplishes is to really examine the reasoning behind our opinions so we can see why intelligent people can come to such varied conclusions given the same set of information.
