Publicani

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, …” Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence, 1776

Look what I found on Internet:

All men are created equal. Therefore all persons alive on this earth are of equal value before the law.

Racism has no place on this planet, in any way, shape or form.

We reject positive action (or direct action, or positive discrimination) as a negative, discriminatory policy, which enslaves minorities within a social cast.

Believing in objective values, we reject quotas and other methods of social engineering. Work and functions must be allotted to those who are objectively best qualified for it, whatever their race, faith, age, gender or culture.

Striving for political neutrality, we have no business perpetuating socialist dialectic. Victims are people, who have been willfully and unjustifiably injured. Being born into a particular social cast, doesn’t constitute an injustice.

Of course, it is humane, honorable, and virtuous to help a fellow individual or a group ob people in time of need. It’s ok,  if your resources are exhausted, to ask other people to join you. But it’s not ok for person A to use person B to force person C to help person D,  especially if by doing it you are harming person E. That’s why I have doubts about affirmative action done by the government. After all, the whole idea of Publicani is based on the self-evident truth that all people are equal.

What do you think?
