What does make us superior? Are you so dishonest or insane as to assert that everyone is equal? This line of sophistry leads to the conclusion that Isaac Newton was not superior to a microcephalous idiot. Probably several--- nay, thousands!---of these idiots had already invented calculus and Newtonian mechanics, only to see their achievements ignored by the elitists. Or perhaps you mean that although these idiots were grossly inferior to Newton in intellect, character, personality, and knowledge, their other assets elevated them to Newton's level---their ability to discharge copious amounts of spittle, mucous, urine, and execrement. And in the workplace today, the idiots should be paid the same as the geniuses. Superiority is a fascist lie. >From each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs.
