It should be obvious to all educated and informed individuals that the days of privilege based upon some humans being of a higher classification of human over others is illogical. The argument cannot be made for such a past inclination of thought. For sure there are differences in our abilities and opportunities but not because of biology nor intellectual capacity, our differences are through environment and resource. We are pretty much interchangeable at birth and to suggest that some great difference between us exists is otherwise indefensible. Unfortunately our history has prolonged a segregated view between us based on some form of classification. Our world economic, political, religious and cultural systems have been maintained to a large degree to allow for the perception that some "deserved" more from life than others. In fact, that there is even a "deserve" is an illusion for selfishness, not truth. All of this is leading to the conclusion that given the same opportunities we are very similar. I would even say that we are equal in most every way, even those precious ones who are born into our world with less than the general abilities of the generic human. This is no great mystery, the world isn't flat and it has only been just over 500 years ago that this began to become generally accepted. We are not, some of us, divine by birth or some cosmic anomaly destined to greatness by virtue of being miraculous. We are of the species human being, no more no less. All of us are here in existence that is as unknown to you as it is to me. It is the great experiment and we are just here to live in that experiment. There is no more a need to distinguish ourselves as greater or lesser, we are just human like all of us. That some of us can see that there are no more segregations necessary for our society to operate is appropriate and should be shared by all.
