There needs to be equality before the law. Some people are better athletes, some are smarter and some outright ignorant. Some work hard and some are lazy. Some are tall and others small. Some are wealthy and others not so (I sound like a retarded Dr. Suess!), but before the law all should be equal. Justice is blind. Blind to the so-called "differences" that liberalism would have us celebrate instead of that which makes us the same. There is but one race and that is human.
Unfortunately the blindfold is never so tight as to not allow the magistrate to sneak a peek to see what in all likelihood what they want to see instead of what matters.
