We are not all created equal. There's no two ways about it. Let's face it: some people are smarter than others. Some people are talented with music, or words, or with their hands...we are all inherently unequal. Society emphasizes this, much as we like to think that we're all equal under the law. Look at how much baseball players make as opposed to teachers. Athletes are given "scholar"ships. I'm elitist myself. I consider much of the population to be not as smart as I am. *shrugs* (Of course, if you had to deal with my landlord, you'd think the same thing.) We aren't all created equal, but I think the world would be kind of boring if we were.
