    Here's the way I see it:

    True equality can only be achieved when everyone is exactly the same. But that's boring, right? There are probably about 50 million books that I'm sure we all read in high school about a hypothetical society where everyone's the same. The problem is, we want it both ways. We want equality, but we also want diversity, and the two things cannot coexist.

    So really, when we talk about "equality" in society, I think of finding a happy medium between equality and diversity, rather than true equality.

    That sort of equality implies that every human being should be exactly the same, effectively making us all identical, mindless drones.

    As in race? Yeah, we just have to keep mating, each other tell were the same race and we all look alike. I got that from white man cant jump. The way I view equality is that, we all are equal through the law, and almost every body gets a fair trial. But in some cases that hasnt happened. There is equality in different levels, such as. Everybody over 16 can get a drivers license, everybody over the age of 21 or somthing has the right to own a gun, etc. Except people who've violated that right. etc. As in personalities peopel have similar traits, but arnt all the same, everybody is different.
