Almost always and says you, a fellow who likely would never have been afforded the opportunity for the education that affords him the vantage point from which to condescend but for a revolution sustained and accomplished at the hands of average men.
Or to borrow from a certain Bailey, this rabble you're talking about... they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this world. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die without treating their lives as though they were a contemptible inconvenience to you?
Of course. We're equal in right and standing before the law, not in our particulars. Some men are smarter, some taller, some more compassionate, decent and possessing a greater humility than others. Any number of differences between men. And how we value the difference and the distinctions speaks to our understanding in a broader sense.
I'll tell you that we elect men to govern who make representations of their philosophy and intent and if we aren't satisfied with how they go about the business of governing we retain the power to unseat them.
I defend the Republic, against enemies foreign and domestic, those who don't know better and those who should.
Who knows? I know the history of power without sufficient checks. It isn't pretty and it's hard enough to keep us in line with them.
And a rape and consensual sex are essentially the same, from one perspective. But the differences are rather important.
