Freedom Beats Equality, Part I

It seems there’s lots of talk these days about finding equality, but little talk of what that means, at least it seems that way to me. People with jealous intentions so like to throw around that word, use it to justify violence, which is just patently absurd. Use it to infringe on freedom, to step on our natural rights, thinking the word equality justifies rioting and fights. Now equality can be good, like equality under law, equal expectation of rights, equal recognition of our flaws. But if you go much beyond that equality has little to say, it’s cliché, yes, it’s so well known: No two people are ever the same. No equalness in how we’re made, and how that will impact our lives, in fact, if we were truly ‘equal’ our species would not have survived. An ‘equal’ life would mean sameness, same body, same instincts, same mind, but reality is a shifting beast, a way to destroy us it would find. And when that day came we’d have no alternatives to draw upon, but different minds have different answers, that’s why we have made it this long. Though this may mean we don’t achieve the same things in our everyday life, it also means we can survive the world’s regular doses of strife. To think more of equality brings up some quite disturbing thoughts, to be equal we’d have to do things that go against all morals taught. We’d have to scar up pretty folks so they don’t outshine the mundane, injure the brains of clever souls to not beat the dumb folk’s metal game. Then where would innovation come from, if our smartest are just cut down, we’d be equally poor and broken, without aircraft, computers, or towns. We’d have to make the productive work less, or they’d beat the lazy, and we’d have to pay them the same in the name of this equality. Would those hard workers keep working if they got nothing for the stress? Who would build all the things we need if the competent gave up, did less? Since the lazy will not rise up, the productive must brought low, all the tech and our food supply would be amongst the first things to go. We’d have to knee-cap the sports stars so they’d equal an overweight dad, then take our kindest citizens, and torture them until they are bad. We’d have to make dark skins lighter so they could get their vitamin D, then make the light skins much darker to fight off cancer equally. The creative must be made to suck so the hacks can be on their level, then round up strong, healthy people and make them have kids with the feeble. CONTINUES IN PART II.
