    I just don't see how you (not you, anyone) can legitimately defend egalitarianism from a secular point of view unless you (not you) are lazy or weak - or if you think you are a white knight. I get the theory, but the reality is that some people are better than others and will earn more for the same job.

    Religion makes men equal. Without it, men are obviously not equal - unless you are misleading yourself for a greater good (which tends to be derived from religious understandings whether you like it or not).

    I believe in secular morality only as the half-life of religious ethics that haven't completely died out yet.

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
