are we really all equal - Page 2

We were all 'created' equal, but we sure as hell don't stay that way.

The constitution only says we're born into a level playing field, what you do from there is on you.

So a person's access to the truth should be based on their abilities?

amh said that people's abilities were not equal, not that their access to anything should not be equal.

Well why bring up the issue of people having different abilities in a thread that is dealing with equality?

Its obvious that people have different abilities.

We know that citizens in the USA are treated differently.

And we all know why dont we FOLKS?

I seriously doubt that the government is hiding anything that big.(9/11, aliens, ect.) We all have full rights in the government, yet the government goes on making laws which the people have little or no say in. Much of this is because people don't use the rights they are given, but we all have a chance to make a difference and change the government. We need to force them to make laws that truly help Humanity.

Equality is relative to the amount of money to which one has access. I provide the OJ exoneration as an example.

We all already know the truth about 9/11, Pearl Harbor, the marine (whatever that is) and about the invasion of Cuba.

What are you trying to say?
