* God Bless Ronald Reagan who was fully entitled to believe whatever he wished, even if incorrect.
* Thomas Jefferson wrote that “All men are created equal” in the Declaration, a political document, while Plato, some 425 years before Christ founded the Catholic Church, defined the ‘soul’ as the entity that defines us and imprints each of us w/individuality and uniqueness; the astonishing miracle of creation. As such, Plato rejected equality/egalitarianism; another predictable faddish heresy from the French.
Jefferson was a great man yet he was incorrect, while Plato, a greater man, was correct.
W/respect, suggest you think for yourself, notwithstanding what others opinions are.
I do think for myself, and as a result I have formed opinions about libertarianism vs. conservatism that differ from your opinions.
Also, it made me laugh out loud to see you presuming to judge who is “correct” or “incorrect” amongst such great thinkers as Plato, Jefferson and Reagan.
Plato and Jefferson weren’t even talking about the same thing. Jefferson was obviously referring to equality of natural rights and protection under the law. Of course, he knew that all men are unique and therefore unequal in every other regard. The two positions are not mutually exclusive.
Have a nice day.
