We may be born equal but does it stay that way?

I think William A. Henry III said it best when he said "The fact is that some people are better than others - smarter, harder working, more learned, more productive, harder to replace". I don't care to be politically correct and either should you. This wild notion that everyone is equally important is both wildly dangerous and a lie.

Some people are better than others. That is not an attack on their value or is it saying that one is worthless. But we need to stop this madness thinking that all are as important as one another. It is not true. Some are more learned. We call them doctors. I will tell you that he is far more important than I should a medical emergency occur. While I was deployed our aviators were much more important to the overall success of missions than most. That DFAC worker was not the push at the decisive point of the battle that lead to the overall success of the mission. That A-10 pilot was!

We are reduced to this false sense of equality by society. We are indeed born equal. But we all will have varying results as to our success and ability. We have had such great leaders of the past such as President Washington and Lincoln. They were far more important than anyone else at the time. But in our time we don’t want to offend that brand new soldier that has yet to develop into a productive member of a team so we say he is as important to the team as that beard clad SF soldier performing surgical strikes against ISIS.

I realize. There are far better men/women than I. I read their books and listen to their lectures. These men and women are hard to replace. There will not be another Steve Jobs or Frederick Taylor. Nor will there be another Margaret Thatcher or Martin Luther King Jr. The sooner we can admit this the better we will be as a society.
