Cherry-picking one phrase out of one sentence and trying to make it a stand-alone principle is inherently intellectually dishonest.  What Jefferson wrote was:


Quote:
Quote: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.

Like this?

"The pursuit of a penis".

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

If the Earth exploded today, who would be missed the most tomorrow? I think it'd be a 7 billion way tie.

In the grand scheme, we're equal, but not in a good way. Practically, we're obviously not equal. For different practical purposes, sometimes we pretend we are.

Yes, everyone is X and X=X, QED. Equals pequals, as Mark and Jeremy would say. All the same size on the mat.
