Equality

The truth that all people should be equal before the law does not mean that all people should be equal.  One does not mean the other.

That all should be equal before the law is a prime requirement of genuine Human Rights in any sane society.  That all should be equal requires a complete abrogation of those same Human Rights and can only be achieved by a widespread suppression of basic freedoms.

Not only are they not the same thing, they are diametrically opposed.

An understanding of the  conflict between the mutually incompatible propositions of ‘equality before the law’ and ‘equality’ is a necessary requirement for a successful examination of why our society is in such profound moral decay.
