If you believe half of what you are saying here. then no one is equal.

And your point? Equality as we think as rights and priviledges is enforced equality. It's not equality by anything more than written word, enforced by muscle and weaponry. Two people equal under law aren't equal when that law isn't there.
Nature's a bitch. There is equality in inequality. Anything else is just romantic bullshit.

Equality is also a matter of accepting another as being worthy of equal consideration, and being accepted as the same. Inequality is not always a matter of power, though that is usually the flavor of choice.
