Did you notice today's "Quotation of the Day" on the right?

Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact.
Honore de Balzac (1799-1850)

What do you think of this quote?

It seems that Balzac didn't believe there would be any power in this world that could possible realize the real equality. It sounds depressing, but maybe he is definitely right.

If you heard the presidency debate of last night, those comments of the would-be president of the United States, about other countries, such as Afghanastan, Parkistan, Georgia, Russia, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, were more depressing. When understanding is missing, equality will never turn into a fact.
