Just because it was written a long time ago doesn't make it necessarily relevant.
Quite the opposite, it was an idealistic opinion written in time spectacularly different from now.
And that very statement contradicts itself. "Everybody is equal male and female, white or black or Hispanic or Asian..., intelligent or completely moronic"
That's not true in any other aspect of life is it? why should it be relevant in probably the most important?
We all will say "everybody is different" yet in the same breath say "we should treat everybody equally".

You're right, the time was much different than now. Men were allowed to own other men and women had no rights when those words were written.
Just look at what this nation went thru for those rights to be exentded universally. Don't ya just hate progress?
