Not "all [people] are created equal", but "all people *are* equal." Love your neighbor as yourself / the golden rule means seeing the needs of others as equal to your own needs, or the needs of your group. "Created equal" leaves room for some people to *become* better than others, which allows us to dehumanize people at our discretion by convincing ourselves that their needs are due to their own shortcomings and therefore not our concern. Just a random thought for the void this morning
