Which is more boogly, Bingle or Bongle?
Perhaps I'm being a bit autistic here, but as far as I understand it, the concept of equality is meaningless without some measurable quantities. If you mean are all humans of equal worth or value, then again, without context the question is meaningless. Are they of equal value as what? Stepladders? No. A food source? No.
If you mean should some people be given more breaks and less grief by society than others, then yes, if that society wants to survive? In that respect people are 'unequal'. However, so far as I can discern, there is no iinherent, underlying, measurable, absolute quantity which could be used to determine such 'inequality'.
In the context of your question, people are neither equal nor unequal. Equality is simply a quality which cannot be meaningfully ascribed to people.
The answer is mu.
