But it means not equality in talent, potential in achievement,or potential in contribution to society; Rather it means all men are equal to recieve the same due process before the rule of law;it means all men are equal in the right to seek, have, and hold his own special happiness and declare it sacred and not something to sacrifice to the whims of others.

Thank you all for your support and interest. I don’t believe there is any country where all men and women are equal but at least we should all have an equal chance and that doesn’t happen either. Everyone in this country can work, if they can find a job, and get an eduction, if they have the money to pay for it. That’s about it for equality.

Call me cynical or something but even though there is improvement in the soceity we live in today, I have never believed that ‘all men are created equal’. I know it is different in America, “then” and “now” but even though there has been improvement, there still is such a massive difference in different aspects of society. For example, a bin collector will always be ‘less’ in the heirarchy of jobs than let’s say a solicitor. I think there will never be a day when all of us even those who don’t live in the US will say that all men are created equal but I’m glad to see there is an improvement through the little facts and anecdotes you’ve cited.

Excellent. La Fayette, true proponent of Liberty, of course did so much for abolishment of slavery in America. I love to recall that all the time.
Thank you Ruby.

why is it the best Presidents you ever seem to get are the ones who end up dead too soon? For pete’s sake I hope Obama lives a long long time and can help get your nation back on track.. I hope every day nobody kills him.

Hey Ruby,

I think this issue had been swept under the rug somewhat. People want to forget rather than admit that US slavery actually happened. I applaud the people bringing some of these historical issues back to the fore.

Excellent insightful look back into history. I think Lincoln was a great president and if he had lived longer I wonder what he would have done for our nation.
