You worry me when you say that we are NOT of equal worth.

I think I read somewhere the following..."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."
Oh, YES. The Declaration of Independence...THAT's it.
Doug...LEAVE YOUR GUNS AT HOME. Who knows YOUmight one day start shooting Everybody around you cuz you "think" that they are NOT Equal to you.
YOU are NOT an AMERICAN when you use this kind of thinking. I'm ashamed of you.
Some People and their kids...:uhoh:We are created equal only. What our value is after that is quite up to the individual. Equality of outcome is for what the egalitarians pray, affirmative action."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."
Contrarywise; you have never heard the aphorism 'play to your strengths'? When our correspondents ignore their failings then I wonder, do they think that they are beyond criticism?
An interesting thread would be 'in how many ways are we unequal'. Anony Mouse could start with all of the eXtreme Close Quarters Battle training he has had and how that especially qualifies his opinion. Does LEO666 think that we are equal, or that 'it's a dirty job, somebody's got to do it' and he deserves something for his altruism?
The only value in opinion is from the provenance (the intermediate pieces of data utilized to compute a final data element) and its exposition.
I am not an egalitarian nor libertarian. And I don't depend on the approval of others for my well being or for my self-esteem - others do not determine my Americanism.
Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they
