“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are equated equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” In reflecting on these words taken from the second paragraph of our nation’s Declaration of Independence, we must say there are many ways in which we are not all equal. Some people enjoy the blessings of material prosperity much more than others. Some people are more academically gifted than others. Some folks enjoy the blessings of health much more than others.And so we ask the question: how is equality shared among us?
