In 'Animal Farm' British 1940s author George Orwell puts forward the idea of All men are created Equal, but some are more Equal than others. He makes the point very well using farm animals to illustrate how different types of people react to certain different social factors. Equality is a very noble concept, but human interaction is based on the self evident truth that we are all different and have different ways of expression & different needs and aspirations. And as much as I may want us all to finish the race of life in line abreast holding hands & smiling at each other I know full well it ain't going to happen. But that doesn't mean I have a desire to tie my neighbours shoelaces together ! Oh, and it is a very long time since I read 'Animal Farm', I'll put it high on my books to re read list.... NB: the following appears as an epigraph to the comic novel Cheerful Craft by R. Andom (Walter Barrett), first published by Stanley Paul & Co. in 1913, long before Orwell: "All men are equal: but some are more so than others". Although the wording is slightly different, the message (or joke) is the same. Perhaps Orwell had read Andom....?
