All Men (and women) Are Created Equal

From the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their 

Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of 

Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just 

powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes 

destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new 

Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to 

them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness...

While these words are beautifully articulated, they are nonetheless MISLEADING...  because all men (including women) are actually not equal when looking at the details of each individual life.

• Some are intellectually smarter than others
• Some  have better physical abilities than others
• Some are more musically/artistically gifted than others
• Some are better looking than others
• Some are taller than others
• Some have better eyesight than others
• Some are more motivated than others

SO...  our CREATOR does not create all human beings equal because our DNA to a large degree dictates the kind of person we will be...  and, this also presupposes that everyone believes in a CREATOR and we know that many people, especially in the USA do not believe in a CREATOR...

Therefore, the statement is misleading.

HOWEVER,

every person who is born in the USA and I suppose all those who have become citizens of the USA are entitled AS CITIZENS to be guaranteed LIFE...  LIBERTY...   and, to pursue HAPPINESS...  and this RIGHT is NOT PREDICATED upon EQUALITY.

TO THIS END...  let me also state that LIFE and LIBERTY is pretty much a NO BRAINER for everyone living in the USA...  but,

the pursuit of HAPPINESS is ILLUSIVE at best and cannot really be guaranteed by OUR GOVERNMENT even though the DEMOCRATS believe that our government can guarantee happiness with their first objective being:  MAKE EVERYONE EQUAL FINANCIALLY...

This philosophy is as ridiculous as it it stupid...             more later...
