Hi Ann; a very thought provoking piece of work, and one with which I fully concur.
Not only are men and women equal but I fail to see differences in religion, but another day for that one.
Well done with your work and I do look forward to seeing more of yours.

Thanks, Jim. I'm in agreement on the whole religion thing. When do you organize that contest? lol. Appreciate your reading and commenting. ann

I thought your last paragraph contained your most powerful and succinct argument, and I certainly agree. Not because I am female, but because I am human. Thank you for sharing your well written reflections.

This was an excellent essay addressing the writing prompt "Are all men/women created equal?" I understand why it took first place. The vocabulary was rich and deep. The comparison of knowing a truth, truly comprehending it, to the comprehension of the concept of multiplication, crystallized the thought. Your explanations were straightforward and the debate was solidly rendered. There was no SPAG that I could see. Fantastic job! Congratulations!

Powerful words! Beautiful and eloquently written. The truth rang loud and clear to my ears. So many things jumped from the computer. Everything you have written here is true to my own belief. We are all created equal, but I love this line...We may be limited by the body we occupy, but not by our Creator. Can't say it enough, this is awesome.

This is wonderful and exactly what I had in mind when I posted the challenge. You made very clear points and followed through. Every point led up to your final statement. Great work. Good luck with the contest.

I found no errors.

PS I happen to agree with you.

WOW, a sixer means so very much to me. I loved your contest because it made me think. Also it was broad enough to allow for all sorts of ideas. In a big picture kind of way, I believe every word I wrote; indeed, I know it to be true. Still, I understand there are people who look at the everyday, individual situation and it's a whole new ballgame for them. Thanks again for the more than generous review. ann

I don't understand women. I don't want to understand them. The mystery is just too enticing and attractive. They drive me crazy and I can only thank them for helping me attain this dazzling insanity. Nick.

I like the admission that even liberals of that time and place: "were apt to sign on for that [separate but equal] babble. We were looking for common ground, somewhere between the Ku Klux Klan and those preaching miscegenation." This is a nice piece that takes up a significant topic...
