An interesting pair of opinions from The Washington Post newspaper.

http://www.washingtonpost[...]80.html

I found a point in the second contributor's post particularly on target in rebuttal:

"I can't help but think how fortunate it is that such wisdom didn't rule in the South 40 years ago, or the civil rights movement would have died with a referendum vote. "

Two totally different opinions wendy, but both right in their own ways.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
Jefferson, Declaration of Independence.

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"
George Orwell, Animal Farm.

The first is an ideal, the second is more real.

As I see it, both items in The Post would appear to be in violation of the part of the Declaration quoted, but certainly were understood, appreciated and were indeed incorporated by the pigs!
